Illness Policy Reminder

Students are to be excluded from school if they have a cough that can’t be subdued with cough suppressants, a fever (100.4 or higher), or any orally communicable condition such as vomiting, diarrhea, ringworm, pink eye, etc. If a child becomes ill with an uncontrollable cough, fever, vomiting, or diarrhea while in the care of the school or extended care program, parents or emergency contacts will be called to come and pick up the child. Children must be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school. As with anytime your child is not going to be at school, we ask that you call or email to notify us before 9:00am. If you take your child to the doctor, please provide a doctor’s note and the absence will be coded as ‘excused-medical’.
