When should my child stay home from school?
- Children with a fever of 100F or greater should not be in school. Children should stay home until they have been fever-free for 24 hours, without the use of fever reducing medication (Tylenol/Ibuprofen).
- Children with vomiting and/or diarrhea should not be in school. Children should stay home for 24 hours after the last vomiting and/or diarrhea episode.
- Children who have red, itchy, mattering eyes should be evaluated by a health care provider and cleared to return to school.
- Children should be on their antibiotics for 24 hours before returning to school (for such things as strep throat, etc.)
