Notes from the Nurse

I should be receiving the results of all the vision screenings in the next week or so, we will send out notices for anything out of the ordinary, if you don't get a notice it means all is perfect. I have a few rescreens on hearing to do next week and then those letters will go out, if you don't get one it means hearing is perfect.

Just a reminder, fevers, vomiting or diarrhea require symptom free without use of medication to suppress it for at least 24 hours before students come back to school. There is a lot of illness going around right now, flu, pneumonia, strep throat, COVID, ear infections, sinus infectons, so please take your child seriously if they say they have a headache or stomach ache and assess them before sending to school. Thank you.
