Hello Parents!

This is Bree and Sami!! We are the nurses here at Providence Hall! I cover the Junior High and High School part-time and Sami is the full-time nurse at the Elementary School. We are so excited to get this year going now that we've had a couple days to settle in. We are asking a huge favor to start things off. We know you may have answered some health questions during online registration. We haven't found a great way to sift through it and get all the health info we might need. So here is where the huge favor comes in. We have a QR code that we would like you to scan. It will take you to a health questionnaire to fill out. IF your student has a medical issue or concern that you would like us to know about, please scan the QR code and answer the questions. This is, of course, voluntary. And if your student doesn't have a medical issue or concern, you can skip the rest of this section ;) We just want to make sure that we are getting all the information that you would like us to have. Also, this can help us get the proper paperwork to you if we need to. If your student has had medications administered in the past and they need them again this year, did you know the correct paperwork needs to be resubmitted? If your child has asthma or an anaphylactic reaction to an allergen and they need to carry an inhaler or an Epipen, did you know the correct paperwork needs to be submitted EVERY NEW SCHOOL YEAR? If your child has been on an IHP (Individualized Healthcare Plan) in the past, that also needs to be renewed EVERY year. It doesn't automatically renew. And this year there is a new requirement in order for your student to have an IHP. These are the things we want to make sure we don't miss! It's important to us to know what our students need, and if we don't know, it's hard for us to give the best care we can! We don't want something to fall through the cracks. If you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out to us!

PTO is selling spirit wear! This can be worn as part of your uniform any day of the week. Ordering closes Sept 1 and apparel will be delivered to your student after our last bulk order. Thank you for supporting the PTO!! Click the button below to order!
