It is important that our children follow good health practices at all times and be kept at home
when they are ill. A child should not be in school when he or she is ill and is experiencing one
or more of the following symptoms:
• Nausea or vomiting (must remain at home until free of symptoms for 24 hours)
• Diarrhea (must remain at home until free of symptoms for 24 hours)
• Severe headache
• Continuous coughing or runny nose
• Evidence of a communicable disease such as a rash, swelling or unusual sore throat
• A temperature of 100.4 F (38 C) degrees or higher (must remain at home until he/she has a normal 98.6 F
(37 C) degree temperature for 24 hours without the use of a fever reducer such as Tylenol)
• Conjunctivitis - pink eye
• Undiagnosed rash (rashes must be verified by your doctor that they are non-contagious before the child
may return to school; a note is needed)
The School Nurse may clear a student with known chronic illness (asthma, allergies, migraines, etc.) If a student is sent
home from school for feeling ill, the child may not return to school that day. A doctor’s note for absences over (7) days is
required (CSUD BP & AR 5113). Thank you for your cooperation in helping to keep all children and
staff healthy.
