When to Keep Your Child Home

The following recommendations are a guide when deciding to keep sick children home from school. The intent is to promote a healthy school environment by preventing exposure and spread of illness.

When your child stays home ill from school, please notify the attendance line each day he/she is absent and indicate any symptoms your child is experiencing.  Notify the health office when students are diagnosed with any communicable illness, such as strep throat, influenza, etc.

When parents are called about a child who has become ill during the school day, it is the expectation that the child will be picked up within one hour. If you have questions about these guidelines, please contact the health office at 763-258-2507.
