🎄 When Is an Ogre Too Sick for Swamp School? 💚
A regular attendance routine is important for your little ogre's well-being and learning. These tips can help you decide when to keep your child home when they don't feel well.
SEND ME TO SCHOOL IF... (I'm ready for Christmas caroling!)
🌲I have a runny nose or just a little cough, but no other symptoms.
🌲I have NOT had a fever overnight and have NOT taken fever-reducing medicine during that time.
🌲I have a mild stomach ache.
🌲I have not thrown up overnight and can drink liquids without throwing up.
🌲I have a mild rash and no other symptoms.
🌲I have eye drainage WITHOUT fever, eye pain, or eyelid redness.
KEEP ME AT HOME IF... (I need a day by the fireplace!)
🌲I have a temperature higher than 100.4℉.
🌲I have thrown up two or more times in the past 24 hours.
🌲My stool is watery, and I may not make it to the bathroom in time.
SEEK MEDICAL CARE IF... (Get the Gingerbread Man's doctor!)
🌲I have a temperature higher than 100.4℉ AND any of the following: ear pain, sore throat, rash, stomachache, headache, or tooth pain.
🌲I have stomach pain and fever, I have bloody or black stool, or I am dehydrated (tired and sleepy, dry mouth) and/or I have not urinated in the last 8 hours.
🌲I have a persistent cough or trouble breathing, or have a fever with the cough.
🌲I have eye swelling, eye pain, or an eye injury.
🌲I have a rash that has blisters, is draining, is painful, looks like bruises, and/or I have a fever with the rash.
If you don't know whether to send your child to school, have specific concerns regarding your child's physical or mental health, or are worried your child will spread illness, contact your child's health care provider, a local urgent care, or the school nurse, Nurse Karla.

Let's make today a day filled with empathy, compassion, and a whole lot of connection (maybe even over some waffles)💙!
