The winter months are upon us, which comes with increased illnesses. How do I know if my child can come to school? If your student has symptoms of an illness that are not caused by something else, stay home and avoid contact with others. Symptoms may include fever, chills, fatigue, cough, runny nose, and headache. Students can resume their normal activities when they meet both of these criteria for at least 24 hours: Their symptoms are getting better overall, AND they have not had a fever (and are not using fever-reducing medication).
