Students should stay home if they have: 

  • A fever over 100 degrees by mouth 
  • Sores that are open or appear infected 
  • Any suspicious rashes 
  • Vomiting in the morning or since going to bed the night before 
  • Diarrhea in the morning or since going to bed the night before 
  • Persistent headache, stomachache, or earache

Physical Education Excuses: 

If a student needs to be excused from PE for more than 3 days, a written request from the doctor must be presented to the school Health Technician. Excuses for 3 days or less must be in writing from a parent/legal guardian. Any appliance (crutches, slings, casts, etc.) requires a note from a physician. Students are expected to dress and participate in PE unless their injury prohibits them.
