SICKNESS POLICY AND GUIDELINES 

INTRODUCTION

“Sickness” is an impairment of normal physiological function affecting part or all of an organism.  There are many different types of sicknesses, some are communicable and some are not.  The following policy is to be followed to identify and control the spread of illnesses within the school due to the presence of communicable diseases. 

 

MANAGING THE SPREAD OF COMMUNICABLE ILLNESSES

• Fever in the past 24 hours: 100.1 or higher. Your child should be fever-free for 24 hours and overall improving symptoms without the use of fever-reducing medication (e.g., Tylenol and Motrin), before returning to school.

• Vomiting in the past 24 hours.

• Diarrhea in the past 24 hours.

• Strep throat symptoms: Please consult a healthcare provider for evaluation. If diagnosed, your child should be on antibiotics for at least 24 hours before returning to school.

• Severe cold: Indicated by a very runny nose or a persistent, disruptive cough, particularly if it has affected your child's sleep at night.

• Significant cough that causes discomfort or disruption in the classroom.

• Pink eye symptoms: These include redness, itching, and/or crusty yellow/green discharge from the eye. Consult a healthcare provider for evaluation. If diagnosed, the student should be on antibiotic eye drops for 24 hours before returning to school.

• Rash: In cases of unidentified rashes or skin conditions, please seek evaluation from a healthcare provider.
