CAMPUS LIFE - Nurse's Notes
| Should I keep my child home from
school today? YES, if she has: ____ diarrhea within the last 24 hours ____ severe cough ____ severe cold ____ undetermined rash ____ temperature of 100.5 degrees or higher within the last 24 hours ____ sore throat with difficulty swallowing ____ red, watery, burning, itchy eyes (and you know it is not due to allergies) ____ vomiting within the last 24 hours ____ nits in hair (lice) The above symptoms/conditions may mean the start of a communicable disease or nuisance condition that could affect many of the other children in your child’s school/classroom. Also, your child may be too sick to learn in school that day. In fairness to ALL children, keep your child home until you can determine what else may be developing. Contact the school nurse if you have any questions. If both parents are employed, please make arrangements to have a caregiver available in case your child becomes ill while in school. Include those names on your emergency forms. Source: Summit County General Health District School Nurse’s Notes. |
