Good to knowWhat spreads fastest in high school
Older students at Wheaton-Warrenville South 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 Wheaton-Warrenville South 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
