STUDENT ILLNESS - WHEN TO KEEP STUDENT AT HOME

• Children too ill to participate in normal school activities should not be at school.  Not only are they unable to benefit from education when ill, they also may infect other children and staff 

• A child with a temperature greater than 99.0 degrees Fahrenheit (37.2 Celsius) orally should stay home until the temperature has been normal for 24 hours

• A child who has vomited at least twice in 24-hours or is unable to tolerate normal food and drink should stay home until the vomiting has stopped (drinking fluids has resumed) for at least 24 hours. If a child vomits during school the student needs to stay home 24 hours to ensure no longer vomiting and can tolerate fluids and food. 

• A child with diarrhea (2 or more watery stools in 24 hours) should stay home until the diarrhea has stopped for at least 24 hours.  A child with persistent diarrhea should be seen by a doctor
