When to stay home
When should I keep my child home from school?
1. Temperature over 100 degrees in the last 12-24 hours. If you suspect that they may be sick, please check their temperature with a thermometer before sending them to school. If they have a fever it is not appropriate to send them to school, even if you give them Tylenol and their fever breaks. They will still be contagious to other children and will also not be feeling well enough to learn.
2. Vomiting or diarrhea in the last 12-24 hours.
