Health/Illness Procedures:

CTCS is responsible for ensuring that children with obvious symptoms of illness, including but not limited to fever or vomiting, are not allowed to attend school. Additional attention shall be paid to children who have been absent because of illness or who have been exposed to contagious disease to ensure that they are healthy enough to attend.

Each parent has included in the child’s registration form the alternative child care plan for times when the child must stay home due to illness. If the child requires isolation, the parent will be notified immediately to have the child picked up within 30 minutes.

Your child must be kept at home if he/she has any symptom of a communicable disease, such as:

1. Fever within the preceding 24 hours.
2. Sore throat or earache.
3. Swollen glands.
4. Sneezing, running nose (yellow or green discharge which indicates infection), watery eyes (including pink eye), persistent cough. The first 3 days of a cold are considered contagious. Sinuses and coughing must be under control so as not to interfere with school activities or affect your child’s physical being.
5. Unexplained rash or skin eruptions.
6. Vomiting or diarrhea in preceding 24 hours.
7. Flushed face, fever, listlessness, headache, lack of appetite.
8. Any behavior signs that are out of the ordinary for your child.
