Illness and Isolation

Illness and Isolation

It is a matter of deep concern that parents allow children suffering from infectious ailments to attend classes or examinations. A child should be medically examined at the first sign of any rash/ fever and should be sent to school only on the advice of a doctor. After recovery from an infectious ailment, a child should remain at home for the period of quarantine as advised by a doctor. In order to return to school, a medical fitness certificate duly signed by a doctor, should be submitted to the office.

Quarantine period recommended for -
- Chicken pox - 3 weeks (till the complete falling of scabs)
- Measles - 2 weeks
- Mumps - 2 weeks
- Conjunctivitis - 1 week
- Jaundice - 4 weeks If students come to school with infectious diseases, they will be sent back home. A student must be medically fit to attend school.
