Welcome! I’m looking forward to getting to know you and your children this year. Thanks to all the parents who have come to see me already. If you have a child with a food allergy you must have a form filled out by your doctor to keep on record at the school. These forms can be picked up in the nurse’s office. If your child will be taking medication at school please fill out a form in the nurse’s office when you bring the medication in. Please, NEVER send medication with your child. A responsible adult should ALWAYS bring the medication in.

Any time your child has a rash they MUST have a doctor’s excuse to come to school.

Please talk to me about your child whenever there is a medical problem. It really helps to know as much as possible about your children. It also helps to know what is going around. I call all absentees to talk to the parent so I know what types of illnesses are going around. E-mail me any time your child is sick or you have any questions.

I will be teaching the children about healthy habits throughout the school year. My goal is to keep your children as healthy as possible. You can help by keeping your child home when they are contagious and teaching good hand washing habits.

Vision and hearing screenings will be done on all K and 1st grade students during the month of August and September. I will need some parent volunteers to help move the children from station to station. Please notify me if you are interested in helping. Children who fail their screenings will be screened by me individually at a later date. You will receive notice in the backpack if your child has a problem with vision and hearing. Otherwise, they will just come home with stickers that say “I had my vision and hearing screened today.”
