When to Stay Home From School
A sick child cannot learn effectively or fully participate in daily classroom activities. Keeping your child at home when they are ill helps prevent the spread of illness throughout the school and gives them the time they need to rest and recover properly. Please do not hesitate to contact the school nurse if you have any questions.
Reminder: Please call the school each morning to report your child’s absence. When your child returns, send a doctor’s note or a parent note. A doctor’s note is required for any absence lasting more than three consecutive days.
