Student Illness

This is the time of year that we begin to see an increase in student illness. Here are some reminders for when your child is ill.

Students must be vomit and fever free for 24 (without medication) before returning to school in order to protect other students from infection. If your child is running a fever or vomiting at school, someone will be required to pick them up from school.
