Remember, if your child is ill:

• Keep them at home.

• Notify the attendance office via filling out this form, or by calling 518-881-0530. 

• Please comply with the 24 hour rule: Your child must be kept home if they have vomited or had diarrhea within the last 24 hours. They should also be free of a fever (below 100º) for 24 hours, without fever-reducing medication, before returning to school. If your child is placed on an antibiotic, they must remain home from school for the first 24 hours on the medication.
