Sorry, am dithering and can't ring school till we'd have to have gone out anyway in the morning, so no idea what usual policy might be.
Ds1 has hand, foot and mouth. He's well past the temperature stage (started Thurs evening) and has just got blistery rash on feet and hands.
His mouth is still very sore however and he keeps moaning in a very dramatic fashion, and is finding it quite hard to eat, even things he usually likes. So hasn't had much today.
He is fairly perky otherwise. A coupleof people have suggested quarantine is pointless but I read that it's contagious for about 7 days (after symptoms begin or end - not sure?)
Obviously I don't want to cause infection in other children but school is v v fussy about absence and won't like it.
I think given the way he is tonight, he'll find it too hard tomorrow in terms of pain/eating. So maybe I will ring them tomorrow to ask.
I dread keeping him off now as they made such a blooming fuss last term.
Can I ask what your school's policy is on this one please?
Thanks.
