Illness
Keep your child at home if he or she does not seem to feel well, both for your child’s comfort and so that other children and staff will not be exposed to possible illness. (We ask parent helpers to observe the same guidelines).
A child with the following symptom(s) will not be allowed to attend school:
- Listlessness or drowsiness
- Headache or fever within 24 hours of class
- Chronic cough
- Swollen glands
- Sore throat or earache
- Nausea, vomiting or diarrhea within 24 hours of class
- Rashes or skin eruptions
- Colds with sneezing or green or yellow nasal discharge
- Eyes that are red or discharging
Also, please remember the general rule that a child too ill to go outside is too ill to be in school. Please do not ask teachers to keep your child indoors. We need all staff to facilitate our programs.
If a teacher believes a child should go home, the child will be sent home. In all cases, the decision rests with staff as to whether or not a child remains at school.
Should your child contract a communicable disease, please notify the office as soon as possible, so that we can inform others that they may have been exposed.
