What do I need to consider if my child has to stay at home sick?

    * Do not send a sick child to another group child care program
    * Make plans for home care for children that become ill
    * Talk to your employer about how you will manage if you or your child becomes ill
    * Check with your teacher about home learning activities

Can my sick child go back to school as soon as he or she feels better?

Students and staff with flu like illness should stay home for at least 24 hours after they no longer have a fever, or signs of fever, without the use of fever-reducing medications. Children, especially younger children, might potentially be contagious for longer periods.
