Absences for Illness

Wylie ISD is preparing for the upcoming flu season. Each year during flu season, the school nurses closely monitor illness at each campus. If your child is absent due to illness, you may be asked some specific questions about his or her symptoms to help us monitor flu-like illness. Your child’s name and other personal information will be kept confidential. We highly encourage you to report your child’s absence for illness to your school’s absence line, attendance clerk or nurse. Please include specific/detailed reason for absence (ex. fever, diarrhea, vomiting, coughing, sore throat, doctor’s diagnosis, etc).  This will assist us in closely monitoring our students during flu season. It is very important that students stay home when they are ill.  This will reduce the spread of germs and prevent others from getting sick.  Thank you for helping us keep our students healthy this season!
