· proper hand washing

What To Do If Your Child Is Sick
Children who are sick should be kept home. Flu symptoms include fever (100° F or greater), cough, sore throat, a runny or stuffy nose, body aches, headache, and feeling very tired. Some people may also vomit or have diarrhea. If your child becomes sick, please let us know his or her symptoms when you call to report the absent. Your child may return to school once his/her fever has been gone for 24 hours without the aid of fever-reducing medications.
Health officials say most students will recover with good common sense practices at home and without needing medical care. They recommend that parents should use the same judgment about whether to take an ill child to the doctor as they would during normal flu season. Parents are advised to seek medical care if their child has:
* Fever above 100° F,
* Fast breathing or trouble breathing,
* Bluish or gray skin color,
* Not urinating or no tears when crying,
* Not drinking enough fluids,
* Sudden dizziness,
* Severe or persistent vomiting,
* Confusion,
* Being very sleepy or confused,
* Being so irritable that nothing makes not waking up or interacting the child feel better,
* Pain or pressure in the chest or stomach area,
* Flu-like symptoms improve but return with fever and more severe cough.
