When to stay home from school
|
MMSD Health Services has revised its guidelines so a fever is now considered a temp of
100.5°
or higher (100 is no longer the “magic number”). This is consistent with clinics and hospitals around the country. As always, if we check your child at school, we will look at more than just their temperature when we decide if they can stay in school or not.
Here's a link to the revised handout "Deciding if your child should stay home or go to school" in
English
,
Spanish
, and
Hmong
. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Hope your children stay healthy!
Thank you!
