Exclusion from School for due to Illness
To decrease the spread of communicable illnesses, students with certain symptoms or diagnosed diseases are not allowed to come to school while they are considered contagious. Please contact the S-TISD nurse if you are not sure whether or not your child should return to school. S-TISD School Health Services utilizes recommendations from the Texas Department of State Health Services (DSHS), Texas Administrative Code and the Center for Disease Control & Prevention (CDC) to determine these guidelines. For more information please visit the DSHS website at https://www.dshs.texas.gov/IDCU/health/schools_childcare/School-Health.aspx?terms=communicable+disease
In addition, S-TISD will follow the exclusion criterion for any conditions listed in the most recent version of the Communicable Disease Chart and Notes for Schools and Child-Care Centers, Texas DSHS.
