Illness Policy

Parents are asked to help control the spread of illness among children at school by following these guidelines.

​

Children should not attend school when:

• They have a temperature over 98.6, or a sore, red throat

• They have had a fever, vomiting, and/or diarrhea within the past 24 hours 

• They have a contagious condition such as pinkeye, impetigo, etc 

• They have a cold with a hacking cough, even if they have no fever 

• Parents do not want the child to play outside

A parent or guardian may be contacted if their child:

• becomes increasingly ill during the day

• sustains an injury

• displays emotional distress and cannot be comforted in a reasonable amount of time
