Illness Policy

If a student exhibits symptoms of an illness, FPS requires the child to be fever/vomit/diarrhea free for 24 hours - without the use of fever-reducing medication - and all other symptoms must be improving before returning to school.

For COVID, we are currently following recommended CDC School Guidance for COVID-19 safety precautions. Guidance is the same for children and adults, and we will require Helping Parents to follow the same guidelines. We will keep an eye on both CDC guidance and the community risk levels in Durham County and update you if/when things change throughout the school year.

As of July 11, 2023, our policy is to only require COVID testing to return to school if recommended by a pediatrician or during periods of high transmission, as indicated by the CDC.

allergen-friendly

No matter the allergen, we ensure that each classroom is safe for all students. For example, if one child is gluten free, then all snacks in that classroom are gluten free. Learn more
