The following guidelines are used to determine dismissals and may be helpful for parents to determine appropriate attendance. Keep your child home from school if he or she:
• has been vomiting during the night • has a cold with sneezing or coughing and a persistent runny nose • has a disruptive cough • has diarrhea • has an oral temperature of 100 degrees or higher • has a severe sore throat • does not eat breakfast because of a stomach ache • has pink bloodshot eyes with yellow or green drainage • has a contagious condition, or suspected infection such
as strep throat - student must be taking the antibiotic medication for 24 hours before returning to school • has lice or nits - a child must be checked by the school nurse before returning to the classroom to be sure that he/she is nit free following lice treatment • has significant abdominal or
chest pain • has a head or eye injury
This is a guideline and is not all-inclusive. The nurse reserves the right to dismiss students who, in her professional opinion, are contagious or are too ill to be in school. |
