The Health Office is located in the Administration building just behind the front office, and is open daily between 8:30 am and 3:45 pm. The nurse takes a lunch break from 1:00 pm. to 1:30 pm.
Please make sure that your contact numbers are kept current so that we can always reach you in case of an emergency. It is also helpful for you to keep me on your list of contacts on your cell phone, so you know when the school nurse is calling you. Please make sure your voice mailbox is cleared.
The health Office provides vision and hearing screenings, provides first aid, breathing treatments, and dispenses daily medication.
The nurse cannot dispense any medication that has not been provided and signed for by a parent or guardian. All medications must be in their original packaging and if it is a prescription medication, it must be labeled with the correct dose and times.
A child can never bring medication to school or carry it on their person, except inhalers or epi-pens (parents will be required to sign a form to allow students to self-carry). Medication forms can be picked up from the Health Office.
Please attempt to deliver your child's medication and complete the necessary forms during health office hours 8:30am-3:45pm. Do not leave medication at the front office.
If you are dropping off or picking up your child during school hours, please use the entrance on 45th avenue and enter through the office.
The person picking up your child must be listed on the pink emergency sheet and will be required to show identification when they sign them out through office.
SAFE AND HEALTHY EATING The cafeteria encourages your students to be seated upright when eating and not to be distracted. Please encourage them to eat slowly, take small bites, and fully chew and swallow their food before talking or laughing. If you pack a lunch and send it with your child, please avoid food items that could be difficult to chew or which could possibly cause choking. Please encourage your student not to eat while walking, running, or engaging in other activities and encourage them to avoid children’s games that involve catching a food item in the mouth or putting large amounts of food into the mouth. Eating in the cafeteria should be fun and social, but eating in the cafeteria is a privilege. For those who misbehave or fail to follow these directions, cafeteria privileges may be revoked.
Fondly,
Nurse Stacy
