Below is a list of commonly seen illnesses and the exclusion time from school established by the West Windsor-Plainsboro Board of Education. The exclusion policies are an effort to control the spread of communicable disease in the classroom.

 

Fever: Any student with a temperature of 100 degrees or more is excluded from school for the entire following day and also has to be fever free without medication the following day in order to return to school.

 

Cough: Children who are coughing continuously should remain home if the cough is such that it interferes with their ability or the ability of others to concentrate on school work.

 

Vomiting: Any student who vomits will be excluded from school and should remain home for the entire following day and should not return to school until he/she is able to tolerate normal meals.

 

Strep Throat: Students need to be on antibiotic therapy for 24 hours before returning to school and must also follow the fever exclusion policy.

 

Pink Eye: Students need to be on antibiotic therapy for 24 hours before returning to school and have no purulent discharge from the eye.

 

Ringworm: Student with Ringworm may be sent to school only if the lesion is covered and verification of anti-fungal treatment is given.

 

Again, these policies are an effort to control the spread of communicable disease in the classroom. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call the Nurse’s Office. Please make sure the school nurse has accurate numbers where you can be reached during the school day in the event of illness or emergency.


Please be considerate of our students and staff and keep all sick children home. 

District policy states that children with a temperature of 100 or more may not be in school and must be fever-free for 24 hours without any fever reducing medication (ex: Advil, Tylenol, Motrin, etc.) before returning to school. Thank you!


"Healthy children are successful learners. The school nurse has a multifaceted role within the school setting, one that supports the physical, mental, emotional, and social health of students and their success in the learning process."
