Sick Day Guidelines

With the flu season upon us, below are the Sick Day Guidelines listed on page 12 of the 2009-2010 Parent Handbook.

Consider keeping your child home if he or she:
√ has a fever 99 degrees or higher
√ has been vomiting
√ has symptoms that prevent him or her from participating in school such as:

• Productive coughing, sneezing
• Headache, body aches, earache
• Sore throat

A minor sore throat is usually not a problem, but a severe sore throat could be
strep throat even if there is no fever. Other symptoms of strep throat in children
are headache and stomach upset. Contact your pediatrician, as your child needs
a special test to determine if it is strep throat.

Keep your child home until his or her fever has been gone for 24 hours without
medication. Returning to school too soon may slow the recovery process and
expose others unnecessarily to illness.

If these symptoms appear while the child is in school, the parents will be called
and asked to take the child home. If a child is absent 3 days or more due to an
illness, a physician’s note will be required to be turned into the school.
