Three key reasons you should keep your child home from school:
- Temperature over 100.0 degrees F,
- Is not well enough to participate in class, or
- May be contagious
Signs indicating a child may be contagious include (not limited to):
- Diarrhea,
- Vomiting,
- Abdominal pain lasting longer than 2 hours or intermittent abdominal pain accompanied by other symptoms, such as fever or diarrhea,
- Rash with fever or behavioral symptoms,
- **Pink or red conjunctiva (whites of eyes) with white or yellow eye mucus drainage, often with matted eyelids after sleep and eye pain,
- Strep throat (until 24 hours after treatment started).
Keep your child home from school for at least 24 hours after the last episode of vomiting or diarrhea. A child with a fever should not return to school until the temperature stays under 100.0 F for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medicine such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen.

It is important you do NOT send your child to school if he/she is showing any symptoms of Pertussis.
