ANNOUNCEMENTS:
WHEN TO STAY HOME/WHEN TO RETURN TO SCHOOL:
As per South Park School District's Policy and The Centers for Disease Control (CDC) recommends that people with influenza-like illness remain at home until at least 24 hours after they are free of fever (100.4°F), or signs of a fever without the use of fever-reducing medications.
In addition, these guidelines must be followed when deciding to send your child to school:
- Acute cold and/or persistent cough—it's difficult for your child to concentrate with a constant cough and or nasal congestion.
- Nausea and vomiting - Students should be free of vomiting for 24 hours before returning to school.
- Diarrhea - Students should be free of diarrhea (frequent loose stools) for at least 24 hours before returning to school.
- Inability to sleep most of the night because they don't feel well. If a child is up all night because they don't feel well, sending them to school to "try and get through the day" most likely won't work as they won't have the energy available necessary to finish the day.
