Student Illness and Recess At School

From time to time, teachers receive requests asking that students stay inside during recess because of illness—or because they are recovering from a recent illness. Please know that when students return to school after being ill, they must be well enough to participate in all regular school activities--including recess. Of course we all want students to be at school as much as possible, but if a student's health is in question they should be monitored at home. If there are extenuating circumstances, it is always helpful to have written advice from your child's doctor.
