Manatee Families,
As cold and flu season begins, we’d like to share a friendly reminder about the district’s health policy regarding student symptoms and illnesses. Please review the following guidelines to help keep our school community healthy:
➡️ Fever: A child presenting to the health room with a temperature of 100.4 or higher (oral) may not remain at school. A parent should be called to pick up the student. Students with a fever are to remain home until they are fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of a fever-reducing medication.
➡️ Strep Throat: Children may return to school 24 hours after starting the antibiotic and 24 hours after the temperature is normal (less than 100) without fever-reducing medicines.
➡️ Conjunctivitis (pink eye): Student(s) may return to school when asymptomatic or when antibiotic treatment has been ongoing for 24 hours.
➡️Diarrhea: The student should be excluded from school until the diarrhea has stopped for 24 hours.
➡️ Lice: The parent is instructed to return to the health room (upon completion of treatment) with the child for clearance to return to school.
➡️ Vomiting: If the student is vomiting at school, the parent should be called and the child taken home. The child may return to school when they are well and symptom-free or after 24 hours without vomiting. If the vomiting is accompanied by fever, then the fever policy applies, and the student may return to school when fever-free for 24 hours (without fever-reducing medication)
We appreciate your help with keeping our students, staff, and families healthy!
