Illness Policy
Please click here to read all of our health and illness policies, which are also summarized in part below:
The Maine Department of Education and CDC guidelines are followed by the Holy Cross School for staff and student illnesses. We assume that any student who is sent to school is well enough to participate in our regular program including outdoor play. If a parent feels that his/her child is not well enough to participate in all activities, he/she should keep the child home.
If your child is sick, contact the School nurse by phone or email to discuss symptoms and date to return to school. Holy Cross School may require that your student be tested for COVID-19 and/or cleared by a doctor to return to school. Holy Cross school may also request that your child wear a mask if experiencing some symptoms but feeling well enough to remain in school.
Children must be free from fever (100 degree Fahrenheit or higher), vomiting and diarrhea without non-prescription medicine (i.e. Tylenol, Advil, Imodium) for 24 hours before they return to school.
