When to Keep your Child Home

Sometimes it is difficult, especially early in the morning, to know whether or not to send your child to school. The following guidelines are indications that you should keep him/her home. By keeping your child home when they are sick, you are helping to control the spread of colds, flu, and other contagious illnesses.

Keep your child at home when he/she has any of the following symptoms:

  • Fever
  • Vomiting
  • Diarrhea

Children should be kept home until they have been symptom-free without medication for 24 hours.

Please NOTIFY THE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY if your child is exposed to or contracts chicken pox, mumps, measles, or COVID-19. These conditions can be life-threatening to students who are undergoing therapies that suppress their immune systems.
