Prudence dictates that students and employees with acute symptoms of communicable disease stay home when ill. Keep your child(ren) home if they have any of the following:

• A fever in the last 24 hours
• Vomiting or diarrhea in the last 24 hours
• Frequent or excessive coughing and/or runny nose (anything other than a clear
  discharge)
• Discharge around the eyes (e.g. pink eye)
• Questionable rash
• Any communicable disease

NOTE: A child being treated with an antibiotic must have received treatment for at least 24 hours before returning to school. Children must have a written note from their physician to be readmitted after having any of the following diseases: Hepatitis, Mononucleosis, Rashes, Ringworm, Scarlet Fever, Strep Throat, and Tuberculosis.

• Fever of 100 degrees F or higher
• Diarrhea
• Vomiting
• Body rash with fever
• Sore throat with fever and swollen glands
• Severe coughing
• Eye discharge-thick mucus or pus draining from the eye, or pink eye
• Yellowish skin or eyes
