Guidelines for keeping students home from school:
Please keep your child at home:
For fever, diarrhea or vomiting
For 24 hours after the child is free of signs of fever, diarrhea or vomiting.
B. If a student becomes ill at school
If a student becomes ill while at school, the student must see the nurse for assessment.
STUDENTS MUST NOT TEXT OR CALL PARENTS TO COME GET THEM WITHOUT GOING THROUGH THE NURSE.
The nurse will determine if the student needs to go home and will contact the student’s parents. Unless the nurse recommends that the student go home, the student’s absence will be unexcused.
