- Even though illnesses often skip members within the same family, we ask that if one member is sick the entire family stays home.
- We know that kids can appear healthy one minute and sick the next. If any child in your class becomes ill please notify the hall monitor so she can:
- Find the parent of the sick child and help collect all siblings and family members so they can go home.
- Arrange for subs for the rest of the parent's classes.
- If you or any of your family members come to co-op and are sick you will be asked to go home for the week.
