When deciding whether to send your child to school, the following guidelines may be helpful. Please keep your child home if:

• A fever (100 degrees or higher) is present or has been in the past 24 hours.
• The child has a cold with a heavy nasal discharge and/or a persistent cough.
• The child vomits before school.
• The child has an unidentified rash.

Remember that: If your child has a fever of 100 degrees F or higher, please keep them home until they are symptom free for 24 hours, without the use of Tylenol or Ibuprofin (motrin or advil). It is strongly recommended by the CDC that you do not give your child Aspirin products for flu symptoms due to the potential risk of Reye’s Syndrome .

Thanks for your cooperation.
