Health Policy

ELCA’s health policies are designed to protect our school community while recognizing that every situation is different. Families should monitor students for signs of illness before school and keep them home when they may be contagious or are unable to participate fully in classroom activities.

Common contagious illnesses include colds, influenza, COVID-19, stomach viruses, and strep throat. These illnesses may spread through close contact, respiratory droplets, or contaminated objects and surfaces.

10+ Reasons to Keep Your Child Home

Please keep your child home if they experience any of the following:

Fever: A temperature of 100°F or higher or chills
Vomiting or diarrhea: More than one episode of vomiting or any watery diarrhea
Persistent coughing: A cough that is more severe than expected with a common cold
Difficulty breathing: Shortness of breath or labored breathing
Sore throat: A severe sore throat or one accompanied by fever
Pink eye: Redness with cloudy or yellow drainage
Significant pain: Persistent ear pain or stomach pain, especially when accompanied by loss of appetite or discomfort with movement
Impetigo: Red, oozing blisters with yellow or golden scabs
Lice: Until treatment is complete and the student has been cleared to return
Chickenpox: Until all bumps have scabbed and no new bumps have appeared for two days
Positive illness diagnosis: A positive test or diagnosis of COVID-19, influenza, strep throat, or another communicable illness

Students should remain home for the appropriate isolation or treatment period and should be symptom-free for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medication before returning

to school. Additional requirements may apply depending on the illness.

Contact your healthcare provider if symptoms are severe, worsening, or accompanied by difficulty breathing, weakness, persistent pain, rash, fever, vomiting, or diarrhea.
