Today we are sending home some information about Health Guidance for Going to School from the Attendance Works website.
Showing up to school every day is critical for
children’s well-being, engagement and learning.
Make sure to send children to school if they are:
• Generally healthy and well.
• Participating in usual day-to-day activities.
• Children can even go to school if they:
• Have a mild cold, which may include a runny nose and/or cough.
• Have eye drainage without fever, eye pain or eyelid redness.
• Have a mild stomachache.
• Have a mild rash with no other symptoms.
• Have head lice. Though they are annoying and should be treated, lice are not a reason to
exclude a child from school.
• Haven’t had a fever overnight and they have not taken fever-reducing
medicine during that time.
Avoid keeping children at home unless they are too sick to participate. Please see the back of this
handout for details. Note that in most situations, a health-care provider’s note is not needed to return.
If your child has a compromised immune system or is at high risk for complications from common illnesses,
please talk to your school (school nurse if available) about developing a plan with you and your child's
health-care provider to keep your child healthy and safe while attending school.
Children may also avoid school due to anxiety (symptoms may include decreased
appetite, feeling tired, stomachache, headache etc). If you are worried that your child
may be suffering from anxiety, talk with your teacher, the school nurse, social worker or
other school staff to discuss the challenge and identify what can help your child stay in
school.
Reasons to keep me home from school and
what needs to happen before I can return
What is my symptom?
When should I stay home and when to seek medical care?
When can I return to school?
Fever
I have a fever of 100.4°F (38°C) or higher.
Seek medical care if I have fever and any
of the following: ear pain, sore throat, rash, stomachache, headache or tooth pain.
If I have not had a fever overnight without the use of fever-reducing medication and I am feeling better.
Vomiting and/or diarrhea
If I have vomited 2 or more times in the last 24 hours. If my stool is watery and I may not make it to the toilet in time. Seek
medical care if I have stomach cramping and fever, I have bloody or black stool, or I am showing signs of dehydration (tired and sleepy, dry mouth and not urinating at least once in the last 8 hours).
If I did not vomit overnight and I am able to drink liquids without throwing up. If my diarrhea has improved.
Persistent cough or trouble breathing
Seek medical care if I have a persistent cough, difficulty breathing or trouble catching my breath or if I develop a fever
with the cough. These symptoms may be signs of Covid-19 or flu and should be evaluated by a health-care provider.
Once I am feeling better and I have been cleared for return by my health-care provider. If my symptoms were due to
asthma, please make sure that I have permission to use breathing medication at school.
Rash
Seek medical care if the rash has blisters, is draining, is painful, looks like bruises and/or if I develop a fever.
Rash has healed or I have been cleared for return by my health-care provider.
Eye irritation
Seek medical care if I have eye swelling, eye pain, trouble seeing or an eye injury. Once I am feeling better.
Sore throat
Seek medical care if I have drooling, trouble swallowing or a fever and/or rash. Once I am feeling better. If I was
prescribed an antibiotic by my health-care provider, then I can return 12 hours after the first dose, if I am without fever and I am feeling better.
Please feel free to call the office if you have any questions.

One thing we shared with parents tonight as part of our PTO meeting was dressing your child for cold weather. It is cold and we are seeing more students sick during these winter months. With the following suggestions we can help our children safe and warm.
Dressing for cold weather
When it is chilly outside it is important to dress your child in layers. 1-2 layers for the top. Longer layers on the bottom. Wear warm shoes and add a coat.
When it is cold outside and/or extreme weather it is important to again dress in layers. 3-4 layers for the top. Add gloves. 1-2 layers on the bottom. Wear warm shoes or boots. Wear a coat and add a warm hat. Also with freezing or extreme weather you can wear a face mask as well.
