It is sometimes difficult to decide when and how long to keep an ill child home from school. A good rule of thumb is that if your child is suffering from any illness that prevents them from feeling well enough to participate in the usual activities and routines, they should not be sent to school.
For health and safety purposes, students should not be sent to school if they are showing signs of illness, such as fever, vomiting, diarrhea, nausea, coughing, sore throat, red or draining eyes, or untreated infected skin patches / rashes / bumps. Students with a fever are to be kept home until they are fever free for at least 24 hours, without benefit from a fever – reducing agent.
Parents should notify the school office whenever their child is going to be absent from school due to illness or injury.
