Hello Students and Families,
I hope everyone had a refreshing and restful Spring Break. Although the DHS respiratory illness report shows that rates of illness are decreasing, the state is still at MODERATE levels of illnesses (think influenza, covid, and rsv). Please continue to be mindful of practices to stay healthy:
Prioritize Sleep (this is when our bodies heal from injury and illness)
Drink Water
Stay Active - get outside
Choose Healthy Snacks
Wash Your Hands OFTEN & Scrub for 20-30 seconds!
Please note, if your student requires medication administration at school, medication forms must be filled out. Stock Tylenol and Ibuprofen is kept at the high school and middle school, but students who need meds at the elementary level must have all medication brought in from home (this includes cough drops), by parent/guardian, with signed forms. Even if your child needs meds administered for only a short period of time, any prescription medication must have a form signed by parent/guardian AND provider ordering the medication. Please ensure you are providing appropriate documentation.
If your student has any activity restrictions due to surgery, illness, or injury, a written note signed by a health care provider is required. The note should include a list of restrictions and the end date for the restrictions. Students without notes are expected to participate in all school activities.
If you have other nurse and/or health related questions, please email or call and we will do our best to meet your needs!
See you soon!
Leah Foley, RN, BSN
