Student Health Criteria

Student Health Criteria

Keep the following criteria in mind when deciding whether or not to send your student to school. These are the same criteria the school uses to determine whether a student needs to be sent home:

  • Fever of 100 degrees F or higher, vomiting or diarrhea (student must be free from all of these symptoms for 24 hours before returning to school)
  • Red, runny, crusty or matted eyes, especially if causing discomfort that may prevent student from functioning in the school setting
  • Suspicious looking rash and temperature elevated above 99.4 degrees F
  • Injury causing inability to function due to pain and/or discomfort
  • Caregiver discretion of illness severity affecting school participation
  • Family circumstances causing excess emotional stress

Please be respectful of this policy so that we can keep your student and all of our students as healthy as possible.
