"You cannot educate a child who is not healthy, and you cannot keep a child healthy who is not educated." - Dr. Jocelyn Elders

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	Chills
Vomiting or Diarrhea	Nausea
Sore throat or trouble swallowing	Coughing, sneezing, and/or runny nose
Rash or unusual sores or spots	Headache
Generalized muscle aches and pains	Wheezing or trouble breathing
Unusually red, crusted or burning eyes	Live Head Lice

 

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 or measles. These conditions can be life threatening to students who are undergoing therapies that suppress their immune systems.
