🚨 Cold & Flu Season Alert! 🚨
We know sickness is making its way through the schools right now! 🤒 To help keep everyone healthy, here are some important guidelines on when kids should stay home and when they’re okay to return to school:
✅ Keep your child home if they have:
• A fever of 100.4°F or higher (They should be fever-free for 24 hours without medication before returning.)
• Vomiting or diarrhea (Wait 24 hours after the last episode before sending them back.)
• Persistent coughing, difficulty breathing, or other flu-like symptoms.
• A contagious illness like strep throat, pink eye, or COVID-19
🏫 They can return to school when:
• They’ve been fever-free for 24 hours without medicine.
• They have no vomiting or diarrhea for 24 hours.
• They’re feeling well enough to participate in class.
Keeping sick kids home helps protect classmates, teachers, and staff! Let’s work together to keep our schools as healthy as possible. 💙
