There has been a confirmed case of Strep Throat in the Yellow Room. The student was last on campus on Thursday, May 11. Because this illness has been identified in the classroom, we recommend consulting a medical professional if you notice any symptoms. Please keep your child home if they are experiencing fever or any symptom of greater intensity or frequency than what is normally experienced. Before children can return to school, they must meet the following criteria:
Fever and symptom-free without the use of symptom-reducing medications for at least 24 hours
Students must be able to participate fully in their daily activities. If they are not well enough to play on the playground, they should not be at school.
Symptoms of Strep Throat include sore throat, fever, and swollen lymph nodes in the neck, headache. An infected individual is considered no longer contagious after 24-hours of being fever-free without the use of fever-reducing medications and at least 12 hours following the start of antibiotic treatment.
If your child will be missing school, please remember to fill out the Student Absence Form to ensure that everyone who needs to be notified is kept in the loop.
Contact the office if you have any questions.
