NOTES FROM THE NURSES

We hope you have had a smooth beginning of the new year and that your holidays were happy and healthy!

1.      Cold and flu season has started. Please help us prevent the spreading of germs: teach your children to cover their coughs, practice good hand hygiene, and remind them NOT to share food or drinks.

2.      Please refer to the Nurse’s health page on the school website for information regarding when to keep your student home from school.  We understand that keeping your child home for minor illnesses may be an inconvenience and they will miss instruction time, but this is the best way to prevent the spreading of germs.

3.     In the best interest of your child’s health and safety while at school,  if your child has a medical concern (illness or injury) and has doctor’s orders indicating physical/activity restrictions or other accommodations (such as: no PE, no physical activity, help with carrying heavier loads, limit academic work/testing, etc.),  please provide a copy of the doctor’s order to the nurseprior to or upon your child’s return to school. The nurse will then ensure that teachers and staff who need to know are informed. In addition, when your child has follow-up visits, and the doctor has changed the orders or released him or her from the restrictions or accommodations, an updated doctor’s order is required. Written doctor’s orders/notes help us to know what can (or cannot) be expected of students who have health or medical concerns
 
If you have any questions or concerns about your child, please do not hesitate to contact us.  
 
Sincerely,
Bette Felder, RN and Michelle Russell, RN
