When to keep your child home from school
ILLNESS: For the well-being and health consideration of all our students and staff, parents are asked to keep home any student with fevers and contagious illnesses. Students need a signed note from the parent stating the reason for missing school. It is a policy that a student must stay home with a fever (24 hours fever-free without the use of medication like Motrin, Aspirin, Tylenol, etc.), vomiting (24 hours free), flu symptoms, diarrhea, colored nasal discharge, persistent cough, strep throat (24 hours on medication), or pinkeye (24 hours on medication).
Medications Standard
All medications, including over-the-counter (OTC) medicines, administered by school personnel during school hours must be prescribed by a licensed health care provider and have a physician’s signature as well as a parent/legal guardian’s permission which will be documented via signatures on the appropriate authorization forms. (General Statutes of North Carolina Chapter 115C-307 and 115C-375.1).
