Illness Reminder
It can sometimes be hard to know when your child is too sick to attend school. Here are some guidelines based on symptoms:
Vomiting: If your child vomits in the morning before school, they may not attend school that day. Keep them home, and if they do not vomit again, they may return the next day. If they vomit more than once, please keep them home until they have been vomit-free for a full 24 hours.
Diarrhea: Children experiencing diarrhea should not attend school until they have been symptom-free for a full 24 hours.
Fever: For our school policy, a fever is a temp of 100.0 degrees or higher. Children with fever should stay home until they have been fever-free for a full 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications such as ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol).
Strep throat: Children may return to school after they have been on antibiotics for a full 24 hours. Pink eye: Children may return to school after they have been on antibiotic eye drops for 24 hours.
In general, children should be excluded from school until they are well-enough to participate in routine activities. If you have any other questions please contact our school nurse, Sarah Lent, at slent@ladueschools.net
Community Service Event
OB Families please come help with our community service project on Dr. King's Memorial Day, Monday, Jan. 16! Mrs. King asked all Americans to roll up their sleeves and help one another on Dr. King's memorial day! We honor her request each year when we do community service together.
Please join us Monday, Jan. 16, at 9 a.m. to decorate, prep, and organize care kits for the people who are homeless.
We will also look for families willing to drive the care kits to the homeless shelters around St. Louis. If you'd like to drive please contact Mrs. Roth at lroth@ladueschols.net or Mrs. Crawford at lcrawford@ladueschools.net.
