These illnesses include but are not limited to:
Strep, Flu, Covid, Pink Eye, Fifths Disease, Hand Foot & Mouth, Pneumonia, RSV, Mono, Stomach Virus, etc.
- The student / staff member must be fever free without the use of tylenol/motrin for at least 24 hours to return to school. If a bacterial infection occurs, the student or staff member must also be on antibiotics for at least 24 hours as well to return to school.
- Please remember, not all contagious illnesses cause fever!
Covid / Flu combo tests are now available at your local stores (walmart, cvs, walgreens, etc) for purchase. If a home test is positive for covid or flu, a photo of the test needs to be sent to the campus school nurse in order to be able to alert parents of illnesses in their student's classroom and to be able to keep track of illness outbreaks. If the student is out more than 3 days in a row, a doctors note must be turned in to the front office to remain excused until the student returns.
