Welcome Back!
This letter is to inform you of our school district’s guidelines regarding children who are sick.
If your child is ill, please keep them home from school and notify the school nurse. A child who is sick
will not be able to perform well in school and is likely to spread the illness to other children and staff. Please
have a plan in place for childcare in case your child is too ill to attend school.
Please do not send your child to school if they have or have had any of the following conditions:
• Fever within the past 24 hours
• Vomiting within the past 24 hours
• Diarrhea within in the past 24 hours
• Chills, body aches, or fatigue
• Severe sore throat
• Rash
• Strep Throat - must take an antibiotic for at least 24 hours before returning to school
• Bad cold (upper respiratory infection) with a very runny nose or frequent cough especially if it has
kept the child awake at night.
• Head lice
• Eye infection - must take an antibiotic for at least 24 hours before returning to school
It is essential that your child’s school has a number where you can be reached during the day and
an emergency number in the event you cannot be reached. If your child becomes ill at school, you will be
called to take them home. Please ensure that there is someone to pick your child up from school within a
half an hour of receiving a call from the school nurse.
Thank you for working with us to keep our children and staff healthy.
Regards,
Ron Zieser, Director
Athletics, Health, Physical Education & Nurses
