Nurse's Notes
Annual Screenings will take place starting in October and progressing through the month of November- during this time in the health office, students are reminded of the importance of their health and how easy it is to stay healthy with frequent hand washing. As cold and flu season will soon be here, students will also participate in discussions in other healthy habits such as staying hydrated, eating a balanced diet with all 5 food groups, getting plenty of exercise and sleep.
Absences : If your child is absent, you must notify the front office that your child will not be in school. Please send in an excuse note upon returning to school for both the teacher and Nurse Mudge.
Any absences related to an illness that exceed 3 or more days must have a Dr's note of medical clearance before they return.
Illnesses : Elementary aged children can easily spread and pick up germs and viruses. If your child has developed symptoms or has been sent home from school with symptoms that are of a concern, such as Flu ( seasonal or Covid ) Strep Throat or Hand Foot and Mouth aka HFM or Coxsackie virus--- which are all communicable illnesses -please contact your Pediatrician for advice and /or evaluation before returning to school.
Medication - please do not send medication to school with your child- it is school policy that medication needs to be hand delivered from the parent to the nurse. Medication can be easily dropped, opened, spilled or lost on the way into school.
If you have any concerns about your child's health, or illnesses that may occur during the school year, please notify Nurse Mudge at 781-319-3985.
