Dd1 came down with chicken pox on friday (first spot), by sunday she was covered. Most of her spots are now dry. When can i send her back to school? She has the main part in the school play and is worried she will not be able to do it. I was planning on sending her back friday, will this be ok? Can she still go back whilst spotty?

I think it is 5 days from the last spot appearing. I would leave it until Monday though to be sure.

As long as ALL the spots are crusted it's OK to send them to school if she feels well enough to go.

Thank you, she feels fine, just very spotty (dry spots), if she doesn't go in friday she will loose her part in the play Sad.
