Guidelines for Keeping a Sick Child At Home

 Your child should stay home if he or she:

• Has a fever of 100.4 or higher
• Has been vomiting or has diarrhea
• Has a rash with fever
• Has symptoms that keep your child from participating in school, such as:
• Very tired, unable to focus in class or lack of appetite
• Cough that he or she cannot control or sneezing often
• Headache, body aches and/or earache
• Bad sore throat-with or without fever and swollen glands, unable to control pain or swallow liquids
• Eye drainage- thick mucus or pus from the eye, uncontrollable itching

24 Hour Rule:

• Your child should be fever free without medication and no vomiting or diarrhea for at least 24 hours before returning to school.
• If your child was given an antibiotic, please keep them home for at least 24 hours after first dose.

If you have any questions or concerns, please contact your School Nurse.
