When to Keep Your Child Home from School 
It's crucial to recognize when your child is too sick for school to ensure their well-being and prevent the spread of illness. 
·                     Keep Them Home If They Have: 
·                     Fever (100.4 F or above) 
·                     Cough 
·                     Vomiting 
·                     Diarrhea 
·                     Contagious disease 
 
Medication Needs: If your child requires medication to manage symptoms, it might be a sign they need to stay home. In some cases, we may advise consulting with your healthcare provider before returning to school. 

Current Outbreaks: We'll communicate any information about illness outbreaks at school and within the community. 

If Your Child Becomes Sick at School 
·                     Immediate Care: We'll do our best to care for them and follow our "How Sick is Too Sick" policy. 
·                     Pick-Up: For certain illnesses, we'll contact you to pick them up promptly. Please ensure your contact information is up to date with the front desk. 
·                     Your Cooperation: We appreciate your timely response in picking up your ill child, so they can rest and recover.
