- Make sure your contact information is updated online
- Pre K and Kinder students put a clean pair of pants and underwear in their backpack
- Please share any medial information with the Nurse such as chronic illness, mental health diagnosis, allergies, and asthma.
- It can be beneficial to sign a records sharing request from the child's doctor's office to send medical information to the school nurse.
- Make sure your child knows your phone number and the phone number of a few more people to call in an emergency
- Take the nurse's call when she calls you and have a plan on what to do if your child needs to go home. Have a backup person who can pick up your child if you're not available and make sure that your backup person is on the emergency contact form
- Fever Free Rule: 24 hours fever-free with no medication. This is for your child's safety as well as other children's safety to stop the spread of disease.
