Students are expected to come to school healthy, well-rested, and ready for class. Students with a fever, diarrhea, contagious viruses, severe colds, and the like must be sent home to avoid infecting others. They should not return to school until they are symptom-free and without a fever (without the aid of medication) for at least 24 hours; this guidance is subject to change, and any changes will be communicated to families. Students who are feverish, lethargic, or unable to do their schoolwork will be sent home. If a student vomits at school, he or she must go home.
Siblings, if not symptomatic, may attend school.
Students with the following symptoms may not attend school:
1.Fever of 100° F or higher until fever free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication
2.Frequent or loose stools during the previous 24 hours
3.Abdominal cramps during the previous 24 hours
4.Vomiting presented with a fever OR vomiting twice in the last 24 hours
5.Rash with a fever
6. Sore throat with a fever
7.Pink or red conjunctiva with white or yellow discharge
8.Yellow eyes
9.Draining skin lesions that cannot be covered completely by a waterproof bandage/dressing
10.Illness that prevents a child from participating in activities (including going outside for recess)
11.Other illnesses as determined by administration
