	Is your child sick?
	There are guidelines in the student handbook for when to keep your child at home and when it is okay to bring your child back to school. The basic rule is if your child has not had a fever, vomited, had diarrhea, or been on meds for an infection for a 24-hour period they may return to school. I would like to address reasons why we call you to have you pick up your child:
	1. If the child vomits we need to send them home even if they say they feel better. 2. If the child has a temp of >100.0 we will call and have you pick them up. 3. If the child has come in more than once with the same complaints we will call you and see what you suggest. 4. If the child was injured in some way that we think they need to see a doctor. 5. If we suspect the child is contagious and needs to be home.
