Illness

Colds, flu and other contagious diseases seem to occur frequently and spread easily among preschool and toddler children. To help protect your own child's health and to minimize the possibility of contagion at school, please keep your child at home if you observe any of the following symptoms:

• Nasal discharge that is green or yellow.
• Complaints of ear pain.
• Productive cough.
• Severe sore throat.
• Eyes that are pink, burning or itching or producing discharge.
• Diarrhea or vomiting.
• Fever

If these symptoms of possibly contagious conditions are observed in your child during the day, you will be called to come pick up your child immediately.

When your child has a fever, please keep him/her at home an additional 24 hours after the temperature returns to normal. This will help to ensure that the illness has actually passed and that your child will be well enough to resume school activities.
