There are times when your child should remain home for their own welfare. The following guidelines are used to dismiss children from school, and may be used to determine when your child should stay home.

• When they have a contagious illness: flu, strep throat, covid, etc. If the doctor places your child on medication, they must be on the medication for 24 hours before returning to school.
• When your child has an undiagnosed fever or rash. If your child has chicken pox, they must remain home until the lesions have scabbed over and no new ones have appeared.
• When  your child has a fever over 100  in the past 24 hours. They must remain home until they are without fever for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications such as acetominophen or ibuprofen.
• If your child has head lice. Once your child has been treated for head lice, you need to bring your child to the school nurse with the empty product container that you used. The school nurse will recheck your child's head and as long as the situation is improved and there are no live lice, your child may remain in school.
• When your child has been vomiting or has had diarrhea and was sent home from school, or in the morning  before school. Your child should not have had any vomiting or diarrhea for 24 hours before returning to school.
