Flu and Illness Guidelines
Apostles and the Santa Clara County Public Health Deparment are following the guidelines below:
-- Keep students with a fever home until the fever has subsided for 24hrs without the aid of medicine.
-- Keep students with flu like symptoms (cough, sore throat, runny nose, fever, chills, fatigue, body aches, headaches) home until the symptoms have subsided for 24hrs without the aid of medicine.
-- See a doctor if fever persists for more than three days, your child is more ill than expected, symptoms continue after taking OTC medicine, or if there is a pre-existing condition.
-- Go to the ER if your child experiences difficulty breathing, dehydrated, continued vomiting, seizures, not waking or interacting, overly irritable, and/or if symptoms improve but then return with worse fever and cough.
-- Call 911 if your child experiences bluish or gray skin color.
