When should students stay home from school?

Help keep students and staff safe by limiting the spread of infectious illnesses and keeping your child home from school when they are sick. 

  • If they are too sick to participate in normal activities
  • If they need a level of care or observation not manageable at school
  • If they create an unhealthy or unsafe environment for others

Use the guides below from the Tacoma-Pierce County Health Department to help decide when your child needs to stay home from school and which illnesses require them to stay home from school.
