Children with symptoms of illness are not in the best frame of mind for learning. Remember your child's illness has an impact on all students learning. Please do not send a child to school  if any of the following are present:

constant coughing, vomiting, temperature of 100 or higher, diarrhea, rashes  or any scratching for an unknown reason, with or without a fever,. red watery eyes that were crusted shut upon awakening, lice nits

Continue to keep your child home after an elevated temperature until he/she has a normal temperature for 24 hours without the use of anti-fever medication. Please do not call your child's school requesting that you child stay indoors at lunch or recess. If the weather is too cold or it is rainy, all the children will stay indoors. If your child is to sick to go outdoors, the school REQUIRES a doctor's note, or the child need to remain at home for the day.
