Calling your child out absent and when to keep your child home
Please call the NKHS Sick Line at (401-268-6239) when you anticipate that your child will be tardy or absent. If your child is out ill it is helpful to know your child's symptoms so that I can determine if an outbreak of one particular illness is occurring in the school. We ask that students stay home for the following reasons:
Fever >100.4 F
Vomiting or diarrhea
Persistent cough
Excessive fatigue and lethargy due to their illness
Known contagious condition (ie. strep throat, impetigo, pink-eye) that has not been properly treated
Symptoms of the Covid-19 virus pending a negative Covid test
It is important for your child to stay home when showing signs and symptoms of illness. All guidelines from the RIDOH will be followed. Please refer to the playbook for more information:
