As flu season approaches, we want to make sure everyone is up to date on our health policies. For the health and safety of all students and teachers, please don't send your child to school if they have any of the following medical conditions or symptoms:
- Temperature of 100 degrees fahrenheit or higher.
- Diarrhea (more than one abnormally loose stool within a 24 hour period) with blood or mucus.
- Vomiting.
- Rash with fever or behavioral change.
- Rash with hives or itching.
- Fever with sore throat or cough (Influenza).
- Oral lesions (sores).
- Conjunctivitis (pink eye).
- Lice.
- Scabies (contagious skin infection caused by parasites).
- Neck swelling (often an early symptom of mumps).
- Stiff neck.
- Draining sore, boil, or abscess that cannot be covered, or sores that ooze.
- Difficult or rapid breathing.
- Severe coughing, which is causing the child to become red or blue in the face or to make a whooping sound.
- Yellowish skin or eyes.
- Any condition which prevents a child from participating comfortably or with greater care required than what can be provided at school.
In all cases, children must be free from fever and vomiting for at least 24 hours before returning to school.
Please refer to pages 17 through 19 of your Family Handbook for more detailed information. As always, feel free to get in touch with us any time if you have any questions.
Thank you!
