Keeping Our Schools Healthy: When to Stay Home
WE are in this together to keep our schools safe and our students and staff healthy. Deciding when to keep a student home can be difficult. Guidance for some of the more common childhood illnesses can be found on lakotaonline.com, including COVID-19.
Students must be fever free for 24 hours without the assistance of medication before returning to school. Please follow your healthcare provider’s recommendations if your child has been diagnosed with COVID-19, the flu or other illnesses.
If your student will be absent due to illness, please contact the school attendance line and describe the illness and symptoms. Lakota’s nurses keep track of reported absences to be aware of any trends that may arise.
