Sick Students

Students who have fever (temperature of 100.4 or higher), vomiting, and/or diarrhea, should be symptom free without medication for a full 24 hours before returning to school.   

Flu Prevention

• If your child has flu like symptoms, they should stay home until they have been fever free without the help of medication for a minimum of 24 hours.

• Limit close contact with those who have fever and flu symptoms.

• Cover nose and mouth with a tissue or arm if tissue is not available when coughing and sneezing (throw the tissue away) and then wash hands.

• Frequent hand washing

• Avoid touching mucous membranes (eyes, nose, and mouth). Germs spread quickly this way.

• Clean and disinfect surfaces and objects that may be contaminated with flu germs (items that have been coughed or sneezed on).

• Flu Vaccine
