Illness

  • When your student is ill, please contact the school (via email or phone) to let us know he or she will not be attending school that day

  • Per the RRISD Student Handbook, state rules require students with certain illnesses to stay home from school - for example...

    • If a student has a fever over 100°, he or she must stay out of school until they are fever free for 24 hours without use of fever reducing medications

    • If a student has a diarrheal illness, he or she must stay home until they are diarrhea free for 24 hours without the use of suppressing medications

  • All students diagnosed with Covid-19 need to be reported to the school nurse for further instructions

  • If a student becomes ill during school and needs to be sent home, the school nurse will contact the parent/guardian

  • The school nurse is always available to answer questions/concerns about illnesses
