• Diarrhea within the last 24 hours
• Temperature of 100 or higher within the last 24 hours without anti-fever medication
• Any symptoms of acute illness such as persistent cough, runny nose and body aches, draining eyes 

Reasons Why Your Child Should Look and Behave Like Him/Herself For 24-48 Hours Before Returning to School

• To protect your child from exposure to more infection before/he/she is able to build resistance
• To protect the other children and school staff from communicable diseases that your child may transmit 

If your child sees his/her primary care provider or other health care practitioner and misses school, please obtain a "Return To School Slip" to return to school.   
   
State Requirements Regarding Medications, Immunizations and Physicals:

• Medications may only be given by the school nurse with a doctor and parent note and the medication in the original container.
