Dear NCES Families,
As we enter the winter season, we want to ensure the health and safety of all students and staff. Please review the following guidelines to help determine when your child should remain at home and when it is safe for them to return to school:
Your child should stay home if they have:
- A fever of 100°F or higher
- Vomiting within the past 24 hours
- Diarrhea within the past 24 hours
- A rash with itching or fever
- Active head lice
- An eye infection with redness, itching, and/or drainage
- Recently been hospitalized or had an emergency room visit
Your child may return to school when they are:
- Fever-free for 24 hours without medication (Tylenol, Motrin, Advil, etc.)
- Free from vomiting and diarrhea for at least 24 hours
- Free from rash, itching, or fever (and evaluated by a doctor if needed)
- Treated for lice and cleared at home
- Free from eye drainage or have been evaluated by a doctor if needed
- Released by their medical provider following hospitalization
If your child has strep throat or another bacterial infection, they should remain home until antibiotics have been given for at least 24 hours and your healthcare provider has cleared them to return.
We appreciate your partnership in keeping our school community healthy. Thank you for monitoring your child’s health carefully and following these guidelines to help reduce the spread of illness.
Sincerely,
Bonnie Topping
