Dear Aristoi Parents and Guardians,

We have seen an influx of students with pink eye at Aristoi Katy Grammar. Following is a reminder about our Pink Eye policy along with the 24-Hour Rule.

THE 24-HOUR RULE:
If your child has a fever of 100.0 or greater, vomiting, and/or diarrhea, they must stay home until they are symptom-free for 24 hours without the use of medication to relieve the symptoms.

  • Vomiting - 24 hours from his/her last incident
  • Fever - a minimum of 24 hours and fever-free without the use of fever-reducing medications before returning to school
  • Diarrhea - 24 hours from his/her last incident
  • Suspected Pink Eye - written clearance from a doctor upon returning to school
  • Lice/Nits - until treatment has been administered and student returns with proof of treatment. Upon returning to school, your student will first report to Student Care for evaluation and re-admittance. One day may be excused for treatment of lice.

According to our 2023-2024 Family Handbook on page 21:
“Parents are responsible for ensuring that sick children do not come to school if they are exhibiting signs and/or symptoms of illness. Please be considerate of other students and school personnel and help prevent the spread of illness by not sending your child to school with an infectious condition, fever, vomiting, diarrhea, sore throat, green mucus, continuous coughing or sneezing, etc....

The final decision to send a student home from school due to illness will reside with the Student Care employee. The school will notify the parent or individual listed by the parent as the emergency contact if it is determined that the child is unable to participate in a normal day’s activities or is suffering from a contagious condition. Sick children will be isolated from other students until they can be picked up from the school. It is the parent’s responsibility to ensure that the child is picked up within one (1) hour of the school’s notification.”
Thank you for your attention and cooperation,

Student Care
