decision.
Keep
your child home if the child has:

allergies)
- head lice (three days nit free, good to go)
- an unknown rash
- any communicable disease such as chicken pox, pink eye, impetigo, measles,
strep throat, etc.
- had a fever in the last 24 hours
- been on an antibiotic less than 24 hours
- been vomiting or had diarrhea the night or morning before church
Please notify
the DRE if your child has been exposed to a communicable disease, as
other children at church may have been exposed.
