To prevent exposing other students to unnecessary illness, a student should not come to school if he/she have any of the following symptoms:

Vomitting and/or diarrhea A suspected contagious disease An undetermined rash A temperature of 100.4 or above within the past 24 hours Feels too ill to come to (remain in) school

> How Flu Travel

A student will not be allowed to remain in school if he/she complains of the symptoms listed above. If a student must leave school due to illness, you are responsible for arranging transportation. If you are not available, the person you designated on your student's emergency information card wil be notified to pick them up. Facilities for keeping your child in the clinic are limited; therefore it is important that your child be picked up promptly.

A student must be fever free for 24 hours without the aid of medications before returning to school.
