We have had a lot of sickness in our class recently.. This is from the Francis Wyman Handbook. Students need to be kept home for 24 hours after the fever breaks to ensure they are no longer sick. Even if they feel fine at home, symptoms can pop back up. We want everyone healthy in school!
Children who have symptoms of a communicable disease should be seen by their pediatrician. In order to prevent the spread of communicable diseases and to ensure rapid recovery, it is advisable to keep a child home from school when they show symptoms such as vomiting, diarrhea, fever over 100°, chills, congestive cough, runny nose, sore throat, or skin eruptions, etc. Your child should be symptom-free of for at least 24 hours before returning to school. If these symptoms are identified at school, the parents will be notified and your child will be sent home. PLEASE DO NOT SEND YOUR CHILD TO SCHOOL WITH THESE SYMPTOMS WHILE AWAITING A CALL FROM THE DOCTOR.
