When stigmata appear
by Genuinelyinterested on December 3rd, 2009
Rule of thumb where i work if your child has a fever of 99 or higher keep them home for at least 24 hours. When showing signs of cough, fever, runny nose, headache, stomach aches all at once take them to the doctor and if really young the hospital right away. Its really a matter of how is your child acting is it stomach ache cause they have a test or didn't do thier homework or do they legitimatley don't feel good. Rule of thumb to if someone says they don't feel good chances are they don't. could be they just wanna be around mom and dad too there is a plethora of reasons kids wanna stay home but never take anything for granted. I had a friend whose child was saying her stomach hurt and mom still sent her to school enede up she had appendicitis....point made.

When they are running a temperature or showing other signs of illness, it is a good idea to keep them home.

When they are sick. It's no use contaminating all the other children. Also, I would keep my child home if they had lice, and they would stay home until the lice were gone. I'd hope other parents would do the same.

When they have any kind of illness that's contagious; when they are puking, have diarrhea, stomach pain or a fever.

Chemotherapy..Might be fun watching them walk the halls with the drip going and them barfing.
That flesh eating bacteria..Watch them walk the halls literally falling apart...
When the school is closed..Weekends and night time. Or on fire.
When they go into seizures...

When they have a sickness that is contagious, or for any reason it is unsafe for them to attend.

Never, get 'em out. When they are sick of course, when they show signs of some distress that school will not alleviate.

I have even heard of parents throwing chicken pox parties to get thier kids sick.....kind of a strange thing to me especially now that the swine flue is in the mix.
