As your school nurse, I will be helping your child if he or she becomes ill while at school. We all want students to have excellent school attendance, but there are times when your child will need to remain at home to recover and to prevent the spread of illness among other students. I would like parents to be aware of school district guidelines for readmission to school due to illness.

Your child may return to school 24 hours:

· After a last incident of vomiting.

· After a last episode of diarrhea or loose stools.

· Of being free of fever (under 101 degrees F).

· Of being on antibiotics for an illness.

Thank you for following these guidelines and helping to keep our students healthy!
