The beginning of the school year is a busy time for all! One of the biggest tasks for school nurses at the start of the year is holding training sessions for safe medication administration for staff. Over 280 staff members in the MPSD are trained not only to administer medications safely, but also in seizure first aid, asthma care, anaphylaxis treatment and diabetic cares. Thank you to all the staff who willingly participate in this training to ensure our students are kept safe and healthy!
Vision Screenings
We all know that healthy vision is necessary for students to learn! Our annual school-wide vision screenings are underway and we are so thankful for the help we receive from the Manitowoc Lions Club in completing this project. If your child does not pass the vision screening, you will receive a letter in the mail with recommended next steps. Dates for upcoming vision screenings can be found on the school calendars.
Medications At School
All students must have a signed MPSD medication consent form on file prior to medications being administered at school. OTC (over the counter) medications require only a parent/guardian signature but prescription medications require the signature of both parent/guardian and medical provider. Medications need to be brought to school by a parent/guardian and in the original container.
