Nurses are angels in comfortable
shoes. ~Author Unknown
Healthy children are successful
learners. The school nurse has a multi-faceted role within the
school setting, one that supports the physical, mental, emotional, and
social health of
students and their success in the learning process.
ATTENTION: Parents of Kindergarten, First &
Second graders
The snow is melting, and the weather is getting warmer. We are now
playing outside again for
recess. The little kids do not stay dry, nor do they stay clean. Please
send an extra pair of
socks and pants for your children, just in case of an emergency.
LATEX BALLOONS
School Nurses are seeing more and more students who exhibit allergic
reactions to products
made from latex. In a fervent desire to keep our students safe, we ask
that you not send
balloons to the school or to your child(ren). If we receive any balloons
from a vendor, we
will not give them to the recipient until after school and will not
allow the balloons to be
transported on the bus.
ATTENDANCE
Parents must notify the school when their child/children will be absent.
Please call the
school before 9:00 a.m. Parents who have not notified the school
concerning absenteeism will
receive a call from the school office.
All students are required to bring a written excuse from home on the day
they return to
classes after an absence. Students arriving after classes begin should
report to the office
with a parent to sign them in.
If parents plan to have their child leave school during the school day,
a note must be brought
from home. This note should be brought to the office for approval when
the student arrives at
school, and then taken to the teacher. Students leaving early for
doctor appointments, trips,
etc. need to have a parent sign them out in the office.
Any notes regarding a student going somewhere after school or riding a
bus different from the
regular bus must come to the school office before 12:00 noon on the date
of the change.
Parents need to make phone calls regarding any changes prior to 12:00
noon.
A student arriving more than forty-one minutes late or leaving more than
forty-one minutes
early will be recorded as being absent for one-half of a day. Students
who are absent from
school for one-half day or more may not attend or participate in any
after school or extra-
curricular activity on the day he/she is absent from school.
