Southeast Warren Illness Policy

If your child is ill and unable to come to school, please call the school office to let us know. We will be calling the parents of children unaccounted for if we have not heard from you by 9:00 a.m.

If a student is sent home from school with a temperature above 101 degrees Fahrenheit, has diarrhea or is vomiting, he/she should remain out of school for at least 24 hours.

If he/she becomes ill at home, we ask that parents keep their child home for a period of at least 24 hours following the time the fever subsides or the last incidence of vomiting or diarrhea. Students need the time to fully recuperate. This is for your child’s protection, as well as the protection of other students and the staff.

Students who are too ill to go outside for recess are generally too ill to attend school.

However, there are circumstances when doctors prefer that students stay indoors. Written doctor’s orders will be followed.
