School Nurse
We are now at the height of cold and flu season. Please make
sure that you are following DHEC policies that state sick children
must remain at home. Students who have had fever of 100.0 or
higher, vomiting, diarrhea, constant coughing, or any other illness
requiring exclusion must stay home for at least 24 hours before
returning to school. Medications may mask symptoms, but do not
eliminate bacteria or virus that can be spread to your child or
others. A well rested child will heal faster. Please refer to
DHEC's School Exclusions list
