Dear parents, We are entering the time of year when illnesses are going around. We have noticed a recent increase in flu-like symptoms (headache, sore throat, body aches, nausea/vomiting, and fever and chills) at the Jr/Sr HS level. Please remember Waupun Area School District Student Health Guidelines regarding when to keep your child home: FEVER: Greater than 100.0 degrees. Your child may return to school 24 hours AFTER temperature has returned to normal (less than 99.5 degrees) without the use of fever-reducing medications. VOMITING: Return to school within 24 hours AFTER last vomiting episode. DIARRHEA: Return to school 24 hours AFTER last diarrhea episode. CONTAGIOUS DISEASES: strep throat, impetigo, pick eye; return AFTER 24 hours of treatment with an antibiotic. NUISANCE DISEASES: head lice, scabies, ringworm must be treated BEFORE returning to school. Sincerely, Joanne Giebink, RN MS
