One of our children had the sniffles and being parents new to elementary school, we found ourselves wondering when it is appropriate to keep our child home. 

It can be hard to know whether to send your child to school when they are not feeling 100%.  We don’t want them to miss school days, but we also don’t want them to infect the entire class and/or not perform at their best.  This is a great guide for parents who may be wondering about this decision.
