Notes from the Nurse
4th Grade Families: All fourth grade students are need a physical exam by state law. Please send in your student’s annual physical form if you haven’t already (or upload it into SNAP.)
Let’s use the SNAP Health Portal to communicate!
What is it? The SNAP Health Portal is the Electronic Health Record (EHR) we use in the Dedham schools to store and communicate health information. I use it to track physicals and immunizations and document office visits with students. Families can use SNAP to give permission for Tylenol/Motrin at School and view their students' annual vision/hearing screenings among other things.
Why use SNAP? It’s a secure way to share private health information. Families can upload physicals and doctor’s orders without sending papers in the backpack. It’s also efficient; the software allows me to send emails to a whole class or group of students at once about a health matter.
How do I log on? All families have an account. The email to get into SNAP is usually the same one used for Powerschool. Not sure what email to enter? Send me a note and I can let you know. With the right email, you can reset your password and start using SNAP.
What next? In the next newsletter, I will send tips on how to check messages, upload files, and grant permissions for over-the-counter medications.
