With cold and flu season upon us, our District 27 nursing staff would like to remind all families of the following school protocols: 

• Stay Home When Sick: Children should remain at home if they are feeling unwell.
• Fever-Free Requirement: Children must be fever-free (<100.0℉) for at least 24 hours without using fever-reducing medication (e.g., acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Advil, Motrin)) before returning to school.
• Nausea/Vomiting: Children must be vomit-free for 24 hours without the use of either non-prescription or prescription antiemetic medications.
• Diarrhea: Children must be diarrhea-free for 24 hours without the use of either non-prescription or prescription antidiarrheal medication.
• Other Illness Symptoms: Children should also stay home if they have symptoms such as cough, fatigue, or congestion, regardless of whether they have a fever.
• Report Contagious Illnesses: Please help us minimize the spread of infectious diseases by informing the school nurse of any contagious illnesses.

If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to call the school nurse. Thank you for your partnership in keeping our schools safe!
