FEVER (100.4 DEGREES or greater)- The student must be free of fever for 24 hours before returning to school.

STREP SORE THROAT- The student can be readmitted after 24 hours from the date the antibiotic treatment has begun.

HEAD LICE- The student can be readmitted when student is free of lice and nits.

VOMITING or DIARRHEA- Your child should stay at home if they have these symptoms during the night or in the morning.
