    The 24 Hour Rule: Students must be fever, vomit, and diarrhea free for 24 hours, without the use of over-the counter Tylenol or Ibuprofen to mask fever, in order to return to school. The 24 hours starts *after* the last episode of vomiting or diarrhea. This is a district policy and prevents germs from being spread to other students and staff as well as provides much needed rest for a sick child.

    If your student becomes ill in school, please have an emergency plan for them to be picked up within 30 minutes.

    Please update all contact information in Genesis to ensure that you can be reached in an emergency.
