Sick Day Guidelines
Dear Families,
As part of our school’s health policy, I’d like to share a few reminders to help keep our students
healthy and ready to learn.
When to Keep Your Child Home
Your child should stay home if they have:
• Fever of 100.4°F or higher (until fever-free for 24 hrs without medication)
• Flu symptoms (until fever-free and symptom-free for 24 hrs)
• Vomiting or diarrhea within the last 24 hrs (return on Day 2 after the last episode)
• Undiagnosed rash (doctor’s note required for return)
• Severe cough, congestion, or constant nasal discharge
• Chills or fatigue affecting participation
• Strep throat, pink eye, impetigo, ringworm, or chickenpox – may return after 24 hrs
of treatment or when cleared by a healthcare provider
• Lice: When lice are identified, students must be checked by the nurse before
returning to class to ensure no active lice remain.
Regular head checks at home are the best way to prevent lice from spreading.
Thank you for your cooperation in keeping our school community healthy!

Music Shirts for Grades 4 and 5
We enjoy highlighting the musical strengths of our 4th and 5th Grade students with special shirts for performances. We are ordering navy blue polos with the school's music logo for each student. Students will wear the shirts for any upcoming concerts or performances. If you have your shirt from last year and can still use it, you do not need to order a new shirt. Please complete the form attached in ParentSquare or in your child's backpack and return it to the main office by Friday, November 7.
Student Supervision Before School
This is a reminder that the school day begins at 8:50am. Please note that there is no staff supervision outside on campus prior to that time. If your child is arriving early to play on the playground or meet friends, there must be active adult supervision. Any families of students that are not actively supervised will receive a phone call for immediate pick up. If your child needs to arrive to school early, we offer Before the Bell or multiple courses through Rowayton Academy. Please call the office for details. Thank you for your continued support of student safety.
