Illness
It is our goal to reduce the number of student absences throughout the year and prevent the spread of illnesses. Therefore any child who displays any of the following symptoms will need to stay home:
- Fever above 100.4F or the use of fever-reducing medications
- Known contact with COVID-19 (see COVID-19 policy)
- Productive or barking cough
- Vomiting or 3+ loose stools
- Eye redness, irritation, or discharge (Blocked Tear Ducts do not apply)
If a student is displaying any of the symptoms listed above, the student must be diarrhea-, vomit- and fever-free (without the use of medication) for a minimum of 24 hours in order to return to school.
Temporary COVID-19 guidelines are to be followed until further notice.
Children may not attend school with a fever controlled by medication. Children diagnosed with an infection requiring medication must have permission from a doctor to return, if they are returning in less than 72 hours following administration of medication. Any contagious disease or illness, or communicable condition (head lice or bed bugs) should also be reported to school personnel without delay. Confidentiality is always respected.
Medication given at school must be documented by your child’s physician and administered by school personnel. Children are not permitted to bring medication (prescription or OTC), sunscreens, bug spray, and skin lotions or topicals, without written documentation from a doctor or a parent (DCFS Requirement). Additionally, school personnel are not allowed to administer any type of OTC or prescription medication without parental consent or a doctor’s order. Medication forms must accompany the medication and are available in the school office. Please request a medication form from the Office or Adminstration.
