Re:
1. DO NOT send your child[ren] to a birthday party when they have chicken pox.
2. DO NOT send your child[ren] to SCHOOL when they have chicken pox.
3. My youngest gal caught chicken pox from the same girls that went to the birthday party and their parents send them to school! Upset now, my oldest daughter is going to give birth any day and we cant see or hold the baby. Husband has a bad immune system, and on steroids for his chronic illness. Rant over.
Unfortunately chicken pox is contagious before the rash appears so the parent would have no way of knowing they should keep the child home from school.
Are your children not immunized?
