Too sick for school?

Deciding when a child is too sick to go to school can be a difficult decision to make. When trying to decide, use these guidelines to help make the best decision.

• Fever: Keep a child home if they have a temperature of 100 degrees Fahrenheit or higher.
• Sore throat: Be mindful of sore throats, especially those with a fever or swollen glands in the neck. If your child has strep throat, they can return to school after 24 hours of appropriate treatment.
• Diarrhea: Three or more loose stools in a 24-hour period.
• Vomiting: Keep a child home if they've thrown up two or more times in a 24-hour period.
• Rash: Watch for rashes, especially those that cause a fever, itching or swelling.
• Chronic cough and/or green nose discharge: These conditions may be contagious and require treatment. Please visit your healthcare provider.
• Ear: Any ear pain with a fever should be evaluated by a physician. Untreated ear infections can cause permanent hearing loss.
• Eye Redness: Eyes that have matted or crust on the eyelids after sleep, mucus or pus drainage, redness, and pain should be evaluated by a health care professional for possible "pink eye" or conjunctivitis.
• Chicken Pox: Children with Chicken Pox must remain home for five days after the beginning of blisters, or until all pox are scabbed over and dry.
• Other Symptoms: Unusually tired, pale, has a lack of appetite, is difficult to wake, confused or irritable. If symptoms persist, check with your doctor or the school nurse.
