Nurses Notes on Illness....... {Healthy Children}
There are times when your child may be ill and needs to stay home. Here are some guidelines for you to follow. Please keep your child home if they have:
** A temperature of 100 degrees or above and must be fever free for 24 hours without mediation before returning to school.
** Vomited in the past 24 hours or has severe nausea or stomach pains or diarrhea.
** A persistent, productive cough
** A red, painful throat or glands on the side of the neck that are swollen
** Flu like symptoms, fever, runny nose, cough, aches
If you keep your child home when their immune system is compromised they will be able to recover quicker and be less likely to contract other illness. Please encourage your child to wash their hands often, especially after using the bathroom, after recess and before eating. By working together we can help prevent the spread of germs in your child's class and unnecessary days absent. {handwashing}
