Dear Parent/Guardian
If your child is sent home from school with a fever or has a fever in the evening or night, please keep him/her at home.
Your child needs to be fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medications such as Tylenol or Motrin before returning to school.
Thanks for keeping our school healthy!!
