Notes from the Nurse
Cold and flu season is now in full swing, and I wanted to remind everyone of the policies we have in place to keep our students as healthy as possible.
Fever: Children with a temp of 99.9 or higher should stay home. Please keep your child home until they have been fever-‐free for 24 hours without the use of OTC fever medications (such as Tylenol, ibuprofen, etc.).
Vomiting: Children who have vomited at school will be sent home, and children who have vomited at home should not be sent to school until they are able to keep a meal down. Although Ladue School District does not have a policy stating that children must be vomit-‐free for 24 hours before returning to school, I recommend allowing 6-‐8 hours to have passed after eating to make sure the meal stays down.
Pink eye/Strep throat: Children diagnosed with pink eye should stay home until they have received 2 doses of antibiotic eye drops. Children with strep throat should stay home until they have been on antibiotics for 24 hours.
Also, it is not too late to get your child a (lu shot! The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends all children 6 months and older receive one every year. There is also a needle-‐less version available called Flu Mist, ask your doctor about it!
