Nurse Office Note

School and Illness: When Your Child Should Stay Home

When your child is sick, it is important to know when they should stay home from school.  Your child should not go to school if they have:

• A fever of 100.0 Fahrenheit  or greater– your child can return to school after they have been fever free for 24 hours without the use of medication to treat or prevent fever.

• Diarrhea – your child can return to school after 24 hours without any episodes of diarrhea.

• Vomiting – your child can return to school after 24 hours from the last episode of vomiting.

• Excessive coughing or wheezing

• Illness that requires treatment with an antibiotic – your child should remain home until they have completed 24 hours on prescribed medication. (Examples include but not limited to- strep, impetigo, conjunctivitis)

School can be a long and demanding day especially after an illness. Your child should be eating and sleeping normally after an illness before returning to school.

Please contact your School Nurse with any questions or concerns.
