Quarantined Illnesses or Conditions

Students are required to stay at home if they have a quarantined illness or condition. Before returning to school after such an illness or condition, a student should obtain a doctor’s permission to do so, or be checked by a school nurse. Reference: 4.10.012-AD

If a student has had an illness of a communicable nature (flu, chicken pox, measles, hepatitis A, scarlet fever, pink eye, impetigo, lice, boils, etc.), s/he must remain at home until well and present a doctor’s authorization to return to school. Assistance for low-income families is available from the Multnomah County access clinics. For information on diagnosis of communicable diseases or permits for returning to school, call Multnomah Education Service District Health Department.
