What parents should know about illness at Immanuel School
This is the community health page for Immanuel School, a school in Elmhurst, IL. 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.

No parent has logged an illness at Immanuel School in the last 14 days. Quiet stretches are normal, especially outside the winter respiratory season, and they can also mean no one at this school has started logging yet.

Back to schoolWhen can my child go back to Immanuel 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
