It’s Cold & Flu Season
Here is some information we would like you to remember if your student is feeling under the weather:
-
If your child has a fever today, they should not be at school tomorrow. If they require Tylenol or Motrin for a fever today, they should also stay home tomorrow.
-
If you need to give your child Tylenol or Motrin in the morning prior to school to “Get them through the day,” they should not go to school.
-
If your child has vomiting and/or diarrhea today, they should not be at school tomorrow.
Please see the handouts below for more tips to help you determine if your student is too sick for school.

When Is My Child Too Sick for School?
Regular school attendance has a meaningful, positive impact on students’ academic success and social well-being. We encourage families to prioritize attendance while also recognizing that students should stay home when they are sick. Keeping an ill student home allows them to recuperate and helps reduce the spread of germs throughout our school buildings. The following tip sheets can help you determine whether your student is well enough to attend school. Click on either image for a printable version.
