September 2010 Nurse's News

Annual Health Forms
o If you have not yet turned in your form designating individuals to call in case of illness and emergency, please do so as soon as possible. Be aware that when your child is ill, he/she may become very anxious if we are unable to locate a parent or guardian. In addition, if your child has a health condition such as asthma, bee sting allergy, epilepsy, etc. that may require emergency action, if you haven’t already, please complete an Emergency Action Plan/Annual Health Form so we can provide optimal care for your child. If you need a form, please notify the school Health Office.

Screenings
o Will begin soon and continue throughout the school year, please check the Health Services website for more information
