Daily Wellness Check
Before sending a student to school, you must conduct a wellness check to ensure good health. This tool is not meant to take the place of consultation with your healthcare provider or to help you with or treat conditions. If you are in an emergency medical situation, call 911. If your student has any of the following in the past 24 hours, they must stay home from school:
- Fever (100 degrees or +)
- Vomiting
- Diarrhea
To return to school students must be fever-free for 24 hours on no fever-reducing medication.
They must have no vomiting or diarrhea for 24 hours.
If your student is sent home with a fever, they may not return the following day.
