Please remember if your student has a fever over 100 degrees they should not be at school. They need to remain home until they are fever free for 24 hours without any medication. This also goes for vomiting and diarrhea. If you feel your child is not well enough to come to school please do not send them. I try to keep the students in the classroom as much as possible unless the student has a fever or is actively vomiting. Thanks for your help in keeping the spread of germs down as much as possible.
