Health

In consideration of your student, his or her classmates and the school faculty and staff, please keep your student home from school if he or she is ill or not feeling well. Providing rest at home will best comfort your student and facilitate a speedy recovery. A student should be kept at home when he or she has a fever of 100 degrees or higher, a bad cold, sinus infection, sore throat, eye infection, unusual skin eruption, swollen glands, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, fever, severe headache or migraine, or suspected communicable disease. Your student should be free of these symptoms or illness for 24 hours without medication prior to returning to school. Any student exhibiting such symptoms or illnesses during school will be sent home. Students are responsible for work missed due to illness. Arrangements can be made with the student’s teachers to complete work missed due to an extended illness. (See, Section 8.10, Make-up Work.)
