Chicken pox but no spots yet???

Hi guys,
Chicken pox has spread throughout my 5 yr olds play school and my 8 yr olds primary school. Half the children have it or have had it in the past month.
My 5 yr old came down with a temp of 38.5 on wed afternoon (Its now friday afternoon) and she's had a headache and been quite unhappy. No other symptoms that would lead me suspect an infection or other illness.
The info I have on chicken pox, which is what I presumed it was, says she should get spots 1 to 2 days after feeling unwell. So far she has absolutely none and I'm wondering if anyone has had a child develop spots later than 2 days or not at all and still had chicken pox.

My 8 year old DD was under the weather for 4 days before her spots came out.
