Keep Those Viruses at Home !
Sending a child to school if he/she has begun to show signs of illness can cause an infectious disease to spread rapidly throughout an entire classroom.
To minimize the occurrence of contagious diseases among our students, we are asking for your cooperation in observing the following guidelines.
Please keep your child home if he/she has any of these symptoms:
1.FEVER - (above100.5) elevated temperature
usually indicates the presence of an infection. Tylenol relieves the fever, but not the disease.
Children should remain at home for twenty-four hours after a fever subsides without medication before returning to school.
2. UNCONTROLLED COUGH
3. PROFUSE SINUS AND NASAL CONGESTION
4. NAUSEA AND/OR VOMITING - within 12 hours prior to school
5. DIARRHEA - within 12 hours prior to school
6. PAIN - sore throat, severe stomachache, headache or body aches.
Your time and effort will help create a healthier environment for all our students.
