Nurse's Corner
It’s the last full week of school, let’s continue practicing good hygiene, safety, and healthy choices. Any meds that haven’t been picked up (by a parent or guardian) will be disposed of on the last day of school, May 29th. Please read the Reminders for more information on med pick-ups.
The Reminders:
For students who have meds at school. Parents can pick up meds May 19th- May 21st and May 27th- May 28th. Any meds that haven’t been picked up by the end of the day May 29th will be disposed of. We will have a sub nurse Thurs May 22-Friday May 23rd. Meds will not be given to the students to take home. A parent or guardian needs to sign for a student’s medications.
If your child needs a check-up, immunizations, or is feeling ill our Jacket Health and Wellness Clinic is convenient and quick. For more information click the link Jacket Health or call (870) 484-4411 to set up an appointment..
Please be mindful when buying candy or snacks for the school that the Sheridan School District is a peanut/tree nut free district. Please do not send or allow your child to bring food items into the school that contain peanuts, peanut products, or tree nuts. This information will be found on the label under ingredients. Due to continual changes in manufacturer packaging and processing, please read the ingredient label to ensure that it does not contain any of the following: peanuts/ nuts, peanut/nut butter, peanut/nut oil, peanut/nut flour, peanut/nut meal, or any of the statements “may contain traces of peanut/nuts.” (M&M’s, Butterfinger).
If your child has a health condition, please inform the school nurse. We want to keep all our students safe and make sure they are receiving proper care while at school.
Please keep your child at home if they have a fever, vomiting, or have diarrhea. Students must be 24 hrs without fever or symptoms in order to return to school. Please also let attendance or the school nurse know.
Parents, be on the lookout for head lice and remind students not to share combs/brushes or clothing items.
Thank you and please contact me with any questions or concerns.
