Illness Guidelines

Guidelines for a child with illness:

1. Keep children home for 24 hours after being sent home with vomiting or if vomiting occurs at home before school. Even though children may feel better after an episode of vomiting, it takes 24 hours after that last episode to no longer spread those germs.

2. Children with a fever of 100.4 should stay home until they are fever-free for 24 hours without Tylenol being used to keep the fever down. Again, while they are 100.4 or above, they spread those germs even if they don’t feel sick.
3. Cough drops are a medicine that can no longer be dispensed without a note of permission from an adult caregiver/parent. If you would like cough drops given to your child for a mild cough or dry throat, please send in a note giving the school permission to dispense.
