No don't go to school it is a contagious disease. I would say in about a week or after the bumps have popped and dried out.

No you can't go to school. Chicken pox is highly contagious. An infected person will be contagious until new blisters have stopped appearing and all the blisters have turned to scabs.
Calamine lotion you can buy in a chemist. Try an antihistamine they work very well to stop the itching.
Remember you have to stay at home while infectious.

Chickenpox is a highly contagious disease that spreads from person to person by direct contact or through the air from an infected person's coughing or sneezing. Touching the fluid from a chickenpox blister can also spread the disease. A person with chickenpox is contagious from one to two days before the rash appears until all blisters have formed scabs. This may take five to 10 days. It takes from 10-21 days after contact with an infected person for someone to develop chickenpox.
An infected person should avoid sun light.
So the answer is.... NO,you can't go to school.

Do not go to school with chicken pox. Do not go as long as their are scabs on your body. You may need calomine or cortizone to keep the itch down. You are very contageous and can cause great problems in others, by being around them. Stay out of school. Get your homework sent home, or have someone pick it up for you.

No you can't go to school with chicken pox. It's a contagious desease and it may scattered all over you class. Take a rest for a week when it’s already gone. Also, don’t try going to school when you think it’s gonna be over by next day, it will be more dangerous when it’s almost gone..

sure you can go to school if you want to infect eveybody there. it usually takes 7 to 10 days to become non-contgious, or 2 days after the scabs appear and the drainage stops.

NO! You can go back when your bumps are gone for a week.
Yes that's a long time sorry.
