Los Altos Library to Celebrate Extended Hours

Hosts Puppet Show featuring The Fratello Marionettes on Sat. Feb. 18

When to Keep Your Child Home From School

Sometimes it is difficult, especially early in the morning, to know whether or not to send your child to school.  The following guidelines are indications that you should keep him/her home.  In this way, you are helping to control the spread of colds, flu, and other contagious illnesses.

Keep your child at home when he/she has any of the following symptoms:

• Fever of 99.6 or higher
• Vomiting or Diarrhea
• Sore throat or trouble swallowing
• Rash or unusual sores or spots
• Generalized muscle aches and pains
• Unusually red, crusted or burning eyes
• Chills
• Nausea
• Coughing, sneezing, and/or runny nose
• Headache
• Wheezing or trouble breathing
• Head Lice

You need to keep your child home until he/she has been symptom free without medication for 24 hours.

Also, NOTIFY THE OFFICE IMMEDIATELY if your child is exposed to or contracts chicken pox, mumps or measles or whooping cough (pertussis).  These conditions can be life threatening to students who are undergoing therapies that suppress their immune systems.
