Please review the following student illness guidelines:

• Report the absence and the student's symptoms (i.e. nausea, vomiting, fever, headache, sore throat, cough, rash, body aches, etc.).
• If the student saw a healthcare provider for the illness, please let us know the outcome of that visit and if your child was diagnosed with a contagious disease.
• For contagious diseases like the flu, COVID, etc., follow the same guidelines: Students/staff must be fever free 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.
• If the student has a fever (100 or higher), they should not return to school until they are fever-free for 24 consecutive hours without the use of fever-reducing medication.
• If the student is vomiting, they should not return to school until they have not vomited for 24 hours.
• If the student is being treated for a contagious bacterial infection (i.e strep throat), they should not return to school until 24 hours after antibiotics are started and until they are fever-free for 24 consecutive hours without the use of fever-reducing medications.

Students with the above symptoms may be sent home. A parent/guardian will be called and asked to come and pick up the student.

Students who wish to participate in school-sponsored activities must attend school one-half day the day of the activity unless permission has been given by the principal for the student to be absent.

It is the responsibility of the parent to notify the student's attendance center as soon as the parent knows the student will not be attending school on that day.  The principal may request evidence or written verification of the student's reason for absence.
