School and Childcare Exclusion List: Information for Parents
In an effort to help protect well children from unnecessary exposure to contagious or infectious diseases, South Carolina requires that children and staff with certain diseases and conditions stay home from school or childcare while contagious.
DHEC publishes the School and Childcare Exclusion List each year. The Exclusion List explains how long ill children and staff should stay out of school or childcare, and what is needed before the child/student or employee is permitted to return.
If you think that your child has an illness that can be spread to others, please keep him or her home from school or childcare and call your health care provider. Questions to consider when your child is sick:
- Does your child's illness keep him/her from comfortably taking part in activities?
- Does your sick child need more care than the staff can give without affecting the health and safety of other children?
- Could other children get sick from being near your child?
If the answer to any of these questions is "Yes," please keep your child out of school or childcare.
