What parents should know about illness at Indian Plains High School

Parents here log the illnesses their kids actually come home with, so other families can see what is going around before the school sends a notice.

Good to knowWhat spreads fastest in high school
Older students at Indian Plains High School move between classes, jobs, and activities, so what circulates here often mirrors the wider community rather than a single classroom. Teens also under-report early symptoms, which is why parent logs matter more than absence counts.
- Flu, COVID-19, and mononucleosis account for most extended absences
- Walking pneumonia can linger for weeks with only a dry cough
- Skin and eye infections track with sports and shared equipment
- Sleep loss and stress make recovery slower, so symptoms outlast the contagious window
Back to schoolWhen can my child go back to Indian Plains High School?
Every school sets its own sick policy, so check yours first. These are the rules of thumb most schools and daycares follow:
- Fever-free for a full 24 hours without fever medicine before returning
- No vomiting or diarrhea for 24 hours, and eating normally again
- On antibiotics for at least 12 to 24 hours for strep throat or impetigo
- Eye discharge cleared, or cleared by your pediatrician, for pinkeye
- Well enough to take part in a normal school day, not just well enough to sit through it
