Treatment for Pink Eye (Conjunctivitis)
What needs to happen for the school?
Students will be asked to stay home from school and refer to a licensed health care provider if there is white or yellow drainage from the eye, altered vision, and/or redness of the eyelid or skin surrounding the eye (see graphic). Providers may prescribe antibiotic drops to be administered to infected eye. After 24 hours on antibiotics, students are welcome to return to school.
