How Sick Is Too Sick For School?
Tis the season in Oklahoma - sniffling, sneezing, coughing, headache, fever, tummy aches, nausea, etc.
We miss our students when absent, but sometimes they need to recover at home; how do you make that decision? CPS encourages following the Oklahoma State Department of Health guidelines. These guidelines will help the child recover and protect against the spread of illnesses to other students and staff.
"A" Symptoms:
Fever (≥ 100.4°F)
Diarrhea or vomiting
Sore throat
Cough
Difficulty breathing
New loss of taste or smell
Rash or unexplained lesions
Suspected pink eye with drainage
"B" Symptoms:
Nasal congestion or stuffy nose
Runny nose
Muscle or body aches

Elevated temperature (< 100.4°F)
New onset of a severe headache
Remember, students/staff should only return to school once they have been fever-free, vomiting, or diarrhea-free for 24 hours without medication.
If you have questions, contact the school nurse at your child's school of record.
