Sick Policies of the Homewood Day School
- If a staff member or child has a fever of 100.4 degrees or more, they will be sent home and will not be able to return until 24 hours fever free without medication. If a child is present with a temperature of 99, he /she will be allowed to stay, and his/her temperature will be checked every 30 minutes. If his/her fever rises to 100.4, the parents will be contacted and asked to pick up their child immediately.
- Our sick policy is up to 72 hours (about 3 days) fever, vomit, and diarrhea free without medication or a doctor’s note saying they are safe to come back.
- We will continue to follow CDC guidelines regarding all illnesses, but we reserve the right to make necessary adjustments when needed.
- We will use a chemical sprayer filled with our approved sanitizing solution to enable us to spray larger areas of play faster.
- Parents will be allowed in the building for drop-off from 7:00a.m.-9:15a.m. and for pick-up from 12:45p.m.-1:00p.m. We reserve the right to amend or change these times if we feel there is a rise in sickness.
- Nappers will go home each day to be washed and returned the following day.
- Children will go outside to play whenever possible.
- If there are 2 or more positive Covid, RSV, or Flu cases from one class in a week, that class may be closed for cleaning. • If Covid, RSV, or the Flu, has been diagnosed in your child’s classroom, and your child starts presenting symptoms, your child will be sent home and cannot return until your child has a negative test result.
- If an infant (N1-N3) is diagnosed with RSV, that child will have to stay home for 5 days or until all symptoms have cleared.
