• Illnesses 

    Please do not send a sick child to school for the nurse to decide whether s/he should be in school. If in doubt, please call your family physician.

    First aid and medical care provided by the school nurse is mainly for illnesses or injuries that occur at school during the school day. Legally, I can not make medical diagnoses or prescribe treatments or medications. I can provide treatments and administer medications that are prescribed by a physician, as long as the proper documentation is completed by the physician and a written doctor's order is received. 

    Any student with a temperature of 100* or more will be sent home. ** Children must be free of fever (temperature below 100*), vomiting, or diarrhea for 24 hours without the use of medications, regardless of how they feel, before returning to school.**
