Regular attendance at school is of the utmost importance but we suggest that you do not send your child to school if they show signs of the following:

• Fever: Do not attend school if fever is above 100 degrees F orally, before fever-reducing medications.
• Diarrhea: Do not attend school until diarrhea stops or medical exam indicates that it is not communicable.
• Vomiting: If a student vomits during the school day, a parent/guardian is expected to pick up their child.
• Rash with fever: Do not attend school until a healthcare provider indicates that it is not communicable.
• Eye drainage: Do not attend school until 24 hours after treatment of a purulent (pus) drainable. 
• Strep throat:  do not attend school until 24 hours of antibiotic treatment.

If a child becomes ill or is injured during the school day parents will be notified.  Parents will be expected to pick up their child.
