Reminder: Keep Sick Children Home
As flu season is in full swing, we kindly ask for your cooperation in preventing the spread of illness at school.
- If your child has a fever today, they should stay home tomorrow.
- If you need to give your child fever-reducing medication today, they should not attend school tomorrow.
- If you feel the need to give your child medicine in the morning just to get them through the school day, please keep them home.
- If your child is experiencing vomiting or diarrhea today, they should not return to school tomorrow.
Keeping sick or still-recovering children at home helps protect the health of other students and staff. Thank you for your understanding and cooperation!
