When should I keep my child home?

Students, teachers, and staff are expected to stay home if they do not feel well. No child is allowed to attend school with a communicable disease. Those absences will not interfere with the student’s ability to access learning and teachers will work with students in this situation to maintain academic progress.

When should a student/staff member stay home from school?  The Oklahoma State Department of Health (OSDH) recommends you stay home if you have ONE (1) symptom from list “A”  OR THREE (3) symptoms from list “B.”
