[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Dial it back, folks. Context matters.

A kid is in lunch and eats too fast. They “vomit” meaning they spit up some of their food. Or they go to PE after lunch and are jumping around and tumbling. No fever. Their affect is fine. Do NOT need to send home.

A kid is lethargic. Seems off. Lunch was over an hour ago. Vomits. SEND home. [/quote]

But in your 2nd example we can’t do that now.[/quote]

This is easily resolved: go to the School Health Aide on Monday and ask them to show you the protocol for a student who vomits. They have a binder with tabs for each situation.  In the meantime, you can read the FCPS website about whether or not a student can go to school:

[b]Symptoms and Illnesses 
Vomiting[/b]

Child has vomited 2 or more times in a 24-hour period. If vomiting is associated with diarrhea or fever, please reference the recommendations for those symptoms (diarrhea, fever).

[b]Can My Child Go to School? 
NO[/b]

Keep your child at home until vomiting has stopped overnight and your child can keep food and liquids down in the morning.
