Illness & Absence

Illness During School
The school nurse will call you to pick up your child if they become ill at school. Please keep your contact numbers updated.
Illness & Absence from School
Call the school in the morning if your child will be absent that day.
Send in a note when your child returns to school if you did not call in.
If your child has a fever (100 or greater), they must stay home until the fever has been gone 24 hours (without fever reducer/Tylenol/Motrin).
If a child wakes up or is sent home from school with vomiting or diarrhea they should not return to school the next day. The symptoms must be resolved for 24 hours and the child is able to keep down food and liquid.
If your child misses more than two days of school in succession, a doctor’s note must be sent in giving the ok to return following illness. If your child misses more than 20% of school at any time, a subsequent doctor’s note must follow. This is to ensure a healthy atmosphere for all students.
