Too Sick for School?
Please keep your students home when they are sick. Often times a sick student does not have the energy needed to complete the school day and this can put their classmates at risk of becoming ill. Please follow the District 24-hour rule: Keep your student home 24 hours after their last fever without using any fever-reducing medications and 24 hours from the last episode of vomiting/diarrhea.
