When is My Child Too Sick for School?
The main reasons to keep your child home are: obvious signs that your child would not comfortably participate in class activities or your child may be contagious and spread illness to others. Generally, other reasons are:
- a fever of 99.7 or above
- vomiting
- diarrhea
- frequent coughing or sneezing
- persistent pain of the ear or stomach or anywhere
- unexplained rash
Should your child tell you, "I feel sick", please check what may be going on and keep her or him at home as necessary.
