When to Keep Your Child Home from School
Guidance for Common Signs and Symptoms of Illness
Children should attend school every day and may attend school with mild or improving symptoms. This guidance, based on CDPH recommendations, will help you decide whether your child is too sick to attend school.
If your child has symptoms that prevent them from participating meaningfully in school please keep your child at home. Otherwise follow the symptom guidance below to decide whether they can attend school. A doctor鈥檚 note is generally not required to return to school.
