Ringing in sick ...

[woodenlofts]

On the first day of a new job.

You just can't, can you?

I am feeling very sorry for myself

All schools should have this document on display somewhere in school:

www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/353953/Guidance_on_infection_control_in_schools_11_Sept.pdf

We use the same exclusion periods for adults as children to be on the safe side and reduce the risk of spreading any disease.

I'm a ta with a new teacher starting tomorrow, if its you I really don't mind holding the fort if you stay home!

I'm a secondary teacher and have never heard of the 48 hour rule before! That document was really useful, thank you to person who posted the link.

If it's sickness due to nerves I think you should go in. See how you feel in the morning. If you're properly ill (not nerves) then don't go in. That said I'd probably go in either way as I'd be worried about making a bad impression.

How are you feeling today OP?

OK thanks although I'm tired!
