Is your child too sick for school?
A child should stay home if:
- They have a fever of 100.5 degrees or higher.
- They have been vomiting or have diarrhea.
- They are weak, have body aches or not acting like themselves, making it difficult for them to participate in school activities.
- They have a cough that disrupts normal activity or causes breathing problems.
A child may return to school when:
- Their fever has been gone for 24 hours without the use of medication.
- It has been 24 hours since their last episode of vomiting or diarrhea.
- It has been 24 hours since the FIRST dose of antibiotics for something like an ear infection or strep throat.
All COVID restrictions have been lifted. Follow the attendance guidelines listed above and call the school's attendance line when your child will be absent.
Call the health office if your child:
- Is absent for 2 consecutive days due to illness
- Experienced a medical emergency
- Has a planned medical procedure
- Received any new medical diagnoses or medications
Immunizations
In order for students to enroll or remain enrolled in elementary or secondary schools, Minnesota state law requires documentation of required immunizations or written proof of exemption.
