My child has the flu, and considering there is nothing that can be done other than to wait it out, I do not want to have to pay money for a doctor’s visit.

A. The only way a student can truly be diagnosed with the flu is to see a doctor. If they are diagnosed early they can receive Tamiflu which greatly decreases the duration and severity of the illness. With excess illnesses they do require a doctor’s note to have them marked as excused.
