Our Guiding Principle: If you were to see a child in public that has the same symptoms as your child, would you think, “I do not want my child exposed to this child?” Considering this can assist you in making the right decision. If the teacher believes it’s necessary for your child to rest and recover, they can request that you take your child home.
If any of the following apply to yourself or your child, please stay home:
Fever | Within the last 24 hours |
Nasal Secretions (runny nose) | New or requiring frequent attention |
Coughing or Sneezing | New, severe, or frequent |
Vomiting | Two or more times in 24 hours |
