Campus Health

In an effort to prevent the spread and control of communicable disease, parents should use the following criteria to decide when to keep their child home from school:

• Fever 100.0 F or greater
• Body aches/ Chills
• Cough
• Sore throat
• Severe headache
• Rash
• Nausea/Vomiting/Diarrhea
• Conjunctivitis (Pink Eye)

The student should remain at home if symptoms are serious enough to interfere with their ability to concentrate and learn. The student may not return to school until he/she is fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever suppressing medications. If the fever persists for more than two days or symptoms become worse, please consult with your health care provider.
