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.

What spreads fastest in a room of little kids
Infants and toddlers at The Compass School share toys, tables, and naptime space, and they are still learning to cover coughs. That combination means illness moves through a room in days rather than weeks, and the first sign is often a change in appetite or sleep rather than a fever.
- •Hand, foot, and mouth disease and stomach bugs spread through shared toys and diapering areas
- •RSV and croup hit hardest under age two, and breathing changes matter more than temperature
- •Pinkeye and impetigo travel on hands, towels, and nap mats
- •A child can be contagious a day or two before any symptom shows up
When can my child go back to The Compass 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
