When to Keep Your Child Home from School
Guidance for Common Signs and Symptoms of Illness
Children should attend school every day and may attend school with mild or improving symptoms. This guidance, based on CDPH recommendations, will help you decide whether your child is too sick to attend school.
If your child has symptoms that prevent them from participating meaningfully in school please keep your child at home. Otherwise follow the symptom guidance below to decide whether they can attend school. A doctor鈥檚 note is generally not required to return to school.
General Education Home Hospital Instruction
The Sacramento City Unified School District Home Hospital Instruction Program provides on-going academic instruction to students with a TEMPORARY disability which makes school attendance impossible or inadvisable.
Medical Exemptions
Under State law SB 277, effective January 1, 2016 parents may no longer cite personal beliefs to exempt their children from vaccines required for school. Most families will not be affected by the new law because their children have received all required vaccinations.
Personal beliefs exemptions on file for a child already attending child care will NO LONGER BE VALID when enrolling into kindergarten, including transitional kindergarten (Early Kinder).
