Dear Parents/Guardians:
11/20/2024
Cold/flu season is upon us! We are seeing an increase in illnesses such as upper respiratory infections, pneumonia, strep throat, and RSV. Below is District 110's policies regarding illness and exclusion from school:
Please DO NOT send your child to school if he/she has:
A fever of 100.0 F or greater within the last 24 hours. (must be free of any fever reducing medications such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen).
• Vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hours
Continuous coughing
Strep throat (must be on antibiotics for 24 hours prior to returning).
Pink eye (must be free of any purulent drainage, able to keep hands out of eyes, and if bacterial- on antibiotics for 24 hours).
A few tips to keep everyone safe and healthy:
Wash hands frequently with soap and water Cough and sneeze into your elbow or a tissue
• Clean and disinfect highly touched surfaces Avoid close contact with others who are sick
Thank you!
