Health Reminder ❣️

We are seeing an uptick in the stomach virus. Please be sure to monitor your child for symptoms. If they are not feeling well, please keep them home, and they must be symptom free for 24 hours before returning to school. In addition, Noecker requires that you not send your child to school if they present with the following:

• Fever in the past 24 hours. Do not give “Tylenol” before school, in an attempt to “get through the day”. Must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school without the use of fever-reducing medicine.

• Flu-like symptoms - Must be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school without the use of fever-reducing medicine.

• Vomiting and/or diarrhea in the past 24 hours - Must be illness-free for 24 hours before returning to school.

• Bad cold, with a very runny nose or sore throat with a bad cough, especially if it has kept the child awake at night or cannot participate in school.

• Unknown rashes- Must be seen by a physician to be identified and return to school only if the student is not contagious with a doctor’s note stating this with the diagnosis.

• Strep Throat- Must be on an antibiotic for 24 hours before returning to school.

• Conjunctivitis- Must be on prescription eye drops 24 hours before returning to school.
