Too Sick For School ?
If your child has a fever, is vomiting or if you feel they maybe contagious, please DO NOT send them to school. It may seem like a good idea to have them try to get through the day. However, even if they only stay for an hour, they will come in contact with many people. Viruses spread rapidly!
*Handwashing is the best way to fight the spread of germs*
The health office will call home when a student requests to go home sick. This does not necessarily mean that the student is too sick to be in school. If the student must be sent home, they will let you know that they must be picked up. In all other cases, it is the parents' decision. Just because the health office calls you does not mean the student must go home. Most students can get through the day with a headache or cramps. No student may leave through the health office without being picked up. Students are not permitted to walk or drive themselves home when going home through the health office.
