Flu/H1N1 School Procedures - Sep 29, 09 |
When parents report student absences, they are to indicate to the school office if the student is out sick with flu like symptoms (for reporting purposes). Flu like symptoms include fever, cough, sore throat, chills, runny stuffy nose, headache, body aches, vomiting and diarrhea.
Students who have flu-like symptoms are to stay home from school; students are to remain out of school for 24 hours after a fever breaks without medication. For most children this is typically 5-7 days.
Any child with a fever equal or greater than 100.0 will be isolated from other students and sent home immediately.
Parents must have a plan in place to pick up a sick child from school within 30 minutes of receiving the call that their child is ill. Students will not be permitted to stay in school if they are showing any signs of being ill.
Getting vaccinated against the seasonal flu and H1N1 is the best defense. The second best defense is frequent hand washing.
Please download and read the following references on the flu.
