RMS Health Guidelines:

Maintaining healthy school environment. We understand the importance of having our student regularly participate in the educational events that has been organized at school. However, when a student is sick, we ask that you not send him/her to school.

If a student has any of the below symptoms or any other sign of a potentially infectious illness.

1. Fever: Temperature of 100.4 degrees F or higher, the student should stay home. The student may return to school when they are fever-free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication.
2. Eye Infections (Conjunctivitis): If a student has drainage or redness of the conjunctiva this may be an eye infection referred to as “Pink Eye”.
3. Diarrhea: Two or more loose, watery stools in 24 hrs, specially if the student looks or acts ill.
4. Runny Nose: Yellow or Green mucus can be a sign of infection. Students may return to school when symptom free for 24 hrs.
5.  Vomiting: Two or more times in 24hrs. Student may return 24hrs. after the last time they vomitted if no other signs of illness are present.
6. Severe Cough or Cold: Students with severe and persistent coughs should remain at home as this could indicate a more complicated problem. When the severe cough improves he/she may return to school.
7. Unusual Rashes: Any student exhibiting any unusual rash with or without fever.

*Parents, please ensure that there is always a designated person available to pick up your child promptly within 45 min. of our contact. This is especially crucial if your child has fever & needs to be sent home due to illness.
