Below is a public service announcement video from the Partnership Office of CSDNB to be used as a resource for families in deciding when to send students to school and when to keep them home due to sickness. The goal is to promote strong attendance and avoid when possible missing valuable classroom time while also maintaining a healthy school environment.

"When Sick is Too Sick for School" - English

"Cuando Enfermo es Muy Enfermo para la Escuela" - Spanish
