Do not treat your child’s fever with Tylenol/Motrin in the morning and then send him/her to school. If your child’s temperature >100 degrees before school, you should make arrangements for him/her to stay home.

WHEN A CHILD IS STAYING HOME DUE TO ILLNESS PARENTS SHOULD NOTIFY THE SCHOOL OFFICE IMMEDIATELY

You can leave a voicemail message at your child’s designated attendance center. If you are not able to contact us during the secretary’s hours (7:30-4:00), please leave a message. If we do not hear from you we will be contacting you directly. We need to be contacted for your child’s safety.
