This document outlines guidance for routine decisions about when children and staff should stay home from school or child care. There may be situations where public health determines more stringent return-to-school requirements.

There are four main reasons for children and adults to stay home:
1. The child or staff member could infect others with a contagious illness, either
because of symptoms, a diagnosis, or recent exposure to a contagious illness.

2. The child or staff member does not feel well enough to take part in usual
activities. For example, a child is overly tired, fussy, or will not stop crying.

3. A child needs more care than teachers and staff can give while still caring for the other children.
4. The child or staff member has symptoms or an illness on this list, and staying home is required.

Please remember, as we approach cold and flu season that if your child is showing one or more of these symptoms, they need to stay home until they are symptom free without the aid of medicine. We appreciate your help in keeping our community healthy this season. Please click the link below for more thorough information.

Thank you!
