Go to School?
Parents are frequently concerned about the decision of when to keep their children home, or send them to school. The following information is intended to help parents with this decision.
Please continue to heed the advice of healthcare experts from the Department of Public Health regarding COVID-19.
Students should stay home if they:
- Have a fever greater than 100 degrees
- Have red, inflamed or draining eyes.
- Have a Rash - This maybe the first symptom of many contagious childhood illnesses such as chicken pox or other viral diseases and they should remain home until doctor says it safe.
- Have Head Lice (please see our district website for more information).
If they are experiencing pain:
- Toothache - Contact dentist.
