Germs are not for sharing!
From the WWRSD Handbook:
Students should remain home:
*Excessive runny nose, coughing, or sneezing.
*Fever of 100 degrees or above – students may return to school only after being fever free for at least 24 hours without the use of antipyretics (i.e., Advil, Motrin, or Tylenol)
*Nausea, vomiting and/or diarrhea
*Skin rashes of a questionable or unknown origin
*Sores on the skin, especially if moist, draining or encrusted
Communicable Diseases:
A physician’s certificate is required when a student has been absent due to Chickenpox, Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye), Fifth’s Disease, Hepatitis, Mononucleosis, Scarlet Fever, Strep Throat, or any other communicable/contagious disease.
Chickenpox: The student may return to school seven days after the appearance of the rash if all scabs are dry and they remain fever free without analgesics.
Conjunctivitis: Students diagnosed with “pink eye” must remain out of school until the eyes are clear or they have a physician’s certificate stating they are no longer contagious.
Fifth’s Disease: Students may be admitted to school with a physician’s certificate even if the distinctive red rash on the cheeks, which often spreads to the body is still present.
