Staying home from school

To safeguard the health of all students, we ask parents/guardians to monitor their children for possible communicable diseases. Students should stay home if they have:

• Fever over 100.4

• Vomited in the past 24 hours; more than 1 episode of diarrhea

• Undiagnosed rash

• Conjunctivitis (pink eye) with discharge

• An active infestation of head lice (live lice on head)

• An undiagnosed skin wound, sore, or lesion that appears infected (red, swollen, draining fluid).

• A communicable illness

Students must remain home for 24 hours after an elevated temperature returns to normal without the use of medication. The 24 hour rule applies to vomiting and diarrhea as well. 

Students must remain home for 24 hours after their first dose of antibiotic for the treatment of strep throat.
