How Sick Is Too Sick To Be In School
When should you keep your child home? Children who cannot keep their eyes open, even after anormal night’s sleep may be coming down with something. If they have an “achy” feeling and aloss of appetite, it is likely that they are becoming ill. If your child is feeling ill, have him or herstay home. Before returning to school, your child needs to be fever free without the use of Tylenolor Ibuprofen and have had no vomiting or diarrhea for at least 24 hours. Your child should stayhome if he or she has any of the following symptoms!
*Temperature of 100 degrees or higher *Diarrhea *Vomiting *Sore throat (with fever, mouth sores or drooling) or abdominal pain *Strep throat – May attend school 24 hours after starting antibiotic therapy, if clinically well *Pink, itchy, matted eyes with drainage *Rash with fever *Impetigo – May attend school if treatment is verified and covered or dry *Head lice – May return to school after treatment *Scabies – May return to school after treatment *Chicken Pox – May return after all lesions have scabbed over *Coughing or green nasal drainage – remember that children love to share everything!
***Please inform the school nurse, secretary, or teacher, and if you have any questions or concernscheck with the school nurse.***
Ask yourself, would you want your child exposed to these symptoms on a daily basis? If not, pleasekeep your child home from school. Rest and plenty of water and fluids are the things that willbenefit a sick child the most. Children who are feverish, nauseated, or exhausted cannot learn welland can spread their illness to others. Keep them home so that they can recover.
