When is your child too sick for school? Many Florida students are chronically absent, defined as missing 15 or more school days per year. This can put a child’s health and academic future at risk, especially those without health insurance. Children who are chronically absent any year between 8th and 12th grade are 7.4x more likely to drop out.
Depending on their symptoms, your child may still be able to go to class even when they’re feeling under the weather.
As a good rule of thumb, the American Academy of Pediatrics recommends keeping your child home from school if they ...
•Have had a fever over 101°F within the past 24 hours
•Have had episodes of vomiting or diarrhea within the past 24 hours
•Don’t feel well enough to participate in regular classroom activities
Regular hand-washing and getting the flu shot are two of the most effective ways to keep your child from getting sick during cold and flu season. Flu shots and other routine vaccinations are FREE with Florida KidCare.
We encourage all of our Stone families and community members to participate in the Brevard Strategic Facilities Plan Survey to make sure our voices are heard! https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/7G3QLWF
