What To Do When A Student Is Sick

If your student is sick in the Charleston County School District (CCSD), you should keep them home from school and contact the school office to inform them of their illness; do not send your child to school if they are exhibiting symptoms like fever, cough, vomiting, diarrhea, or other contagious symptoms; if your child becomes sick at school, the school will contact you to pick them up immediately. 

Key points to remember:

  • Stay home when sick:

    CCSD strongly advises parents to keep their children home if they are showing any signs of illness to prevent spreading germs to other students and staff. 

  • Contact the school:

    Inform the school office about your child's illness and the expected duration of their absence. 

  • Consult a healthcare provider:

    If your child has a serious illness, consult a doctor to determine when they can safely return to school.
