Here are a few updates/reminders for our families:
It’s hard to believe another school year is underway! The October 15th deadline is fast approaching for families who have not completed your child’s Physical Exam and completed Immunization Record. Many reminders have been sent out. Please reach out to Nurse Peggy or Nurse LeeAnna with a date the exam will be completed. If we do not hear from you before that date, there is a probability that your child will be excluded from school until that requirement is completed. If you need any assistance, we are available and have many resources we can share. Thank you for partnering with us to keep our school community healthy.
If your child has been injured and/or cannot participate in PE/Recess, please call the Health Office to inform the Nurse of the situation.
- A physician note with all restrictions is required for the child’s safety. We will do our best to meet our students' needs but need to have the information to do so.
- A release will need to be obtained before the child can return without restrictions.
- We will always encourage students to go outside with their class for “fresh air”.
Thank you to all who have sent in gently used clothing for our Health Office. We have a need for girls/ boys pants, sized 5-10, no blue jeans please - our kids will not wear them. Currently if you think your child should need to use this service we provide, please send extra underwear and clothes in their backpacks for them to use.
In the business of the mornings, sometimes breakfast can be forgotten. We all encourage you to make sure that the children have a good breakfast before coming to school if possible. Breakfast feeds the brain and helps it to get poppin’ for the day. Make sure snacks that are sent are on the healthy side to keep energy high to get through the day. Don’t forget the water bottles either :)
When your child is ill and has to go home, please be prompt in picking them up. I would expect a half hour or so should be enough time to make arrangements. Of course there are always things that come up and I will be as flexible as possible. My office is very busy at times with kids coming in and out so it would be very appreciated.
Thank you!
Nurse Peggy (peggy.faught@d303.org, 331-228-2204)
Nurse LeeAnna (leeanna.anzaldi@d303.org, 331-228-6681)
Medications & Cough Drops at School
Students are not allowed to bring coughs, gum or peppermint candies to school. A Physician order is needed for all over the counter types of medications. The Medication Administration form can be obtained on the district website. Physicians must complete and sign the top portion and parents need to sign the bottom portion before any medications are given. You should not be sending any medications to school with the children in their backpacks unless the proper forms for self carry are completed. (which is for emergency and rescue meds) Please drop off the medication along with the completed form to the Nurse.
Hearing and Vision
Hearing and Vision screenings have started here at Davis. If your child is supposed to be wearing glasses, please make sure your child brings them to school every day. We have found that many students that are having a hard time with the screenings are also having a hard time seeing the board in the classroom. Some already have glasses that they are supposed to wear daily, but they are not wearing them.
The screenings are done to encourage and create healthy environments, so our students have the best opportunity to learn. Your assistance is greatly appreciated. If your child has been referred for an eye exam because he/she didn’t pass the screening process, please be prompt with your follow up appointment. This will assist in the success of your child.
As always, it is very appreciated
Nurse Peggy
