Homeschooling with Purpose Sick Policy:

 

Please Stay Home If You or Your Child Has:

  1. Fever – 100.4°F or higher (must be fever-free for 24 hours without medication before returning).

  2. Vomiting– Must be symptom-free for 24 hours before returning.

  3. Persistent Cough or Runny Nose – Especially if it disrupts class or requires constant wiping/blowing.

  4. Sore Throat – Especially if paired with fever or swollen glands (consider testing for strep).

  5. Pink Eye – Must be on treatment for at least 24 hours and no discharge.

  6. Rash – Unexplained rashes must be cleared before attending.

  7. Head Lice – Must be treated and nit-free before returning.

If Someone in Your Household Is Sick:

  • Use your best judgment.

  • If it's contagious (flu, COVID, etc.), please err on the side of caution and stay home, even if the child seems well.

  • You may attend if the illness is not contagious (e.g., allergies, teething, etc.).

General Guidelines:

  • Let your team lead and Skylar know as soon as possible if you’ll be absent due to illness.

  • Please don’t give children fever-reducing medication to “get through the day.”

  • We know it’s hard to miss—thank you for keeping our group safe and healthy!
