My child is ill. Should I keep him or her home from school?
It is often difficult to make a decision about whether or not your child is too sick to attend
school; however, we are asking parents to keep children home if they are too sick to be
comfortable at school or might spread contagious illnesses to others. Please help us by
monitoring your child’s symptoms closely each day, and if he or she becomes ill, please keep
your child home until the required isolation time has passed. Please be aware that schools are
required to report any positive, or suspected, COVID cases to the Louisiana Department of
Health to monitor the spread of COVID-19 within our community. If you have any questions
about whether your child should attend school, please see the chart below or contact a school
administrator.
