If your child has a temperature of 100.4 degrees or greater, is vomiting, has diarrhea, or has pink eye, please keep your child at home. A student must be free of fever for twenty-four hours before returning to school. If a student becomes ill at school, a parent will be contacted to pick-up their child.
