Moscow Day School

Sick Child Policies

A daily check will be conducted by staff members to ensure that all children are healthy when brought to the school.  Children exhibiting the following symptoms will be isolated until parents can pick them up.

  • Fever of 100º Fahrenheit or higher.

  • Vomiting within the past 24 hours.

  • Diarrhea within a 24-hour period.

  • Draining rash or any rash of concern.

  • Eye discharge or pink eye.

  • Fatigue or too sick to participate in daily activities (including outdoor play).

  • Symptoms of any of the childhood communicable diseases, including Chicken Pox, Scarlet Fever, or Strep Throat.

  • Open and oozing sores, which cannot be covered.

  • Lice or Scabies

A child must be free of fever for 24 hours before returning to the school.  If antibiotics are ordered, a full 24 hours of treatment is needed before returning (except ear infections).

If school staff or the director has concerns about a child's ability to safely return to care, we reserve the right to request a note from the child's health care provider.
