WHEN CHILDREN SHOULD NOT BE IN SCHOOL
A healthy school environment is essential for student learning. Preventing the spread of infectious disease is one of the ways the Irvine Unified School District seeks to provide a healthy learning environment.
A child who has a temperature of 100ºF or higher, has an undiagnosed rash or experiences nausea and vomiting is excluded from school. Any child suspected of having an infectious disease/condition is also excluded and may not return to school until she/he has been symptom free for 24 hours after being sent home or a physician provides a written statement that the child is not contagious.
Some of the more commonly occurring infectious conditions in school age children include pink eye, flu, chickenpox and Fifth disease. Children with signs of head lice or the eggs (nits) of the louse are also excluded until all eggs (nits) are removed.
