PLEASE KEEP YOUR CHILD HOME AND CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR FOR:
FEVER of 100 degrees or higher (by mouth)
VOMITING OR DIARRHEA within the last 24 hours
SORE THROAT
A RASH with any open or draining sores
RUNNY NOSE (large amounts) along with a headache
HEADACHE with a fever
EAR PAIN
If your child has a fever, it is not a good idea to give them medicine like Tylenol and send them to school
because as soon as the medicine wears off, the fever may return and you will be called to pick them up
PLEASE KEEP YOUR CHILD HOME FOR 24 HOURS AFTER THE FEVER ENDS OR THEY HAVE COMPLETED
24 HOURS OF MEDICATION IF PRESCRIBED BY THEIR DOCTOR
If your child is frequently asking to stay home without any clinical signs, if they are falling behind or appear
anxious about school, contact your school nurse and your health care provider about your concerns
Remind your child to throw away used tissues, cover their mouths when they cough or sneeze, keep their
hands away from their face, and to wash their hands with soap and water
PLEASE CALL THE HEALTH OFFICE WITH ANY CONCERNS!
