Wondering whether to keep your student home for the day? Here are the guidelines to follow:
-Has a fever of 100.0 degrees or higher
-Has been vomiting or has diarrhea
-Tired, poor appetite, cough, headache, body aches, earache or sore throat.
Keep your child home if he/she is coughing or sneezing often because this spreads the sickness to others.
The 24-hour rule:
1. Fever-Keep your child home until their fever has been gone without medicine for 24 hours.
2. Vomiting or diarrhea-Keep your child home for 24 hours after the last time he or she vomited or had diarrhea.
3. Antibiotics-Keep your child home until 24 hours after the first dose of antibiotics for anything like an ear infection or strep throat.
If you child receives a note/guidelines from a clinic for a positive covid diagnosis, parents can choose to follow their guidelines and the absences will be excused, however, we do not require students to isolate.
