Nurse Notes
Health Office News:
Cold and flu season has arrived! If your child is ill, it is important for them to stay home from school and rest. By taking this step, parents can help their children get better faster as well as prevent the spread of illness to others. Please call or email the attendance line if your student will be absent. Students with a fever (temperature of 100.0 F or more) may return to school once they are fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication. Students should have 1-2 clean masks available in their backpack in the event that they need to see the nurse during the school day. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact your school nurse.
Stay healthy,
Nurse Lozier and Nurse Cossette
Sweetsir:
Starting in this month, the Sweetsir Health Office will be conducting the annual vision, hearing and BMI screenings for students. The nurse will conduct the vision screening with support from Watts Eye Associates employees. Should your child not pass any of the screenings Ann Brady-Lozier, the school nurse, will reach out to you directly regarding the referral and follow up process. If you have any questions or concerns regarding the annual screenings or would like to opt your child out, please contact your school nurse.
