Is Your Child Too Sick for School?

 

Does your child(ren) have any of the following:

• Fever over 38.0 C or 100.4 F

• Sore throat

• Coughing up phlegm

• Nausea and/or vomiting

• Diarrhea (more than one episode)

• Lack of energy (“not themselves”)

• Complaining of pain

• Lethargic

• Loss of appetite

 

If the answer is yes to any of these symptoms, your child(ren) should not be attending school, daycare or family centres.

 

Please contact your health care provider for further actions.

 

When in doubt, keep them out

(of the public!)
