Showing up to school every day is critical for children’s wellbeing, engagement, and learning. Make sure to send children to school if they are generally healthy and well, and able to participate in usual day-to-day activities. Children can even go to school if they: ✅ Have a mild cold, including a runny nose and/or cough ✅ Have eye drainage without fever, eye pain, or eyelid redness ✅ Have a mild stomachache ✅ Have a mild rash with no other symptoms Let’s make every day count!
