Attendance is the key to school success:

Fever of 100 degrees and above
Norovirus symptoms: diarrhea, vomiting and stomach pain, body aches, headache, low grade fever (children & staff experiencing these symptons should stay home until 24 hours after symptons have stopped.
Strep Throat – may return after 24 hours on antibiotic and 24 hours with no fever
Chickenpox – may return when all lesions are dry

Measles – may return with Doctor’s permission
Rubella – may return with Doctor’s permission
Mumps – may return with Doctor’s permission

MEDICAL RELEASE

In the case of surgery, orthopedic injuries, and extended illnesses, a note is required from your student’s physician regarding activity for recess, required gym classes, and sports participation.

Please minimize family vacations during the school year or communicate with the school so that work can be provided in advance. The school will also be notifying parents when their child has missed more than ten days. I know that school attendance can be improved when the school and parents combine forces.
