Change his schedule so he doesn’t have to take that class

In middle school?

Yes. It will take one time of this to figure out if he’s really sick or playing everyone. My money is on the latter.

The nurse has to be in the nurse's office to deal with the other 1000 students and adults in the building. Expecting her to abandon her job duties to go to one malingering student's classroom for a non-emergency is absurd, I'm sorry. Totally unreasonable request/suggestion.

Then let the kid take his own temperature in the classroom. It’s not rocket science, no degree required.

I remember saying I was sick and needed to go home a couple of weeks after I started high school at a large public high school. In my memory I don't think I was intentionally lying, I just knew I had to get out of there. I had previously been at a small private school and decided to give the public one a try. It was obviously not for me! One day my mom picked me up, took me out for lunch, had a talk with me, and we decided it was time to go back to the private school. No more school avoidance. Just my anecdote from 30 years ago!
