Notes from Mrs. Lawton, School Nurse
Health Update 10/20/2017:
I hope you are all enjoying this great fall weather lately. With the Winter season around the corner and the need to wear hats, I wanted to remind Parents and Guardians to remind their children that they should not be sharing hats/visors with other children, and also they should not be sharing hair implements. You should be checking your child’s hair on a continuous basis.
If you discover head lice in your child's hair, do not send them to school. You should notify the health office and you will need to notify your MD and they will need to be properly treated before coming back to school. When they do return to school, they need to be checked here in the health office before they return to class.
I have recently finished with all the results of the Vision and Hearing screenings. I have sent home letters for those students that will need further follow-up with their MD’s. If you could return those letters to me when the follow-up is done, that would be great!
Thank you to all those that have sent in recent copies of their children’s MD physicals and updated immunizations- I appreciate it. For those of you who haven’t been able to yet- if you could send them along as soon as possible, that would be great!
- When we receive a note from a doctor letting us know a child can not participate in gym class, we have to follow the doctor's orders. Therefore, a students cannot return to gym without updated orders that clear them for participation. Please make sure there is a start and end date, if possible, on doctor's orders.
Reminders from Mrs. O'Coin, School Secretary
- It is important that we have the most up to date contact information for your child. Updates of contact information can be completed by contacting our school secretary Mrs. Veree O’Coin at 508-886-0399 or by email at veree_ocoin@wrsd.net
- If your child will be absent, please notify us by either sending a note with your child, or notifying the school at 508-886-0399.
- If your child has a change in dismissal, please send in a note with your child's full name and teacher's name.
- Please ensure your CORI has not expired. Contact Mrs. O’Coin if you are unsure of your expiration date. Mrs. O’Coin has current information regarding the CORI. We cannot rush CORI checks at the end of the year as systems are overloaded.
- Unless otherwise noted: Dismissal on Early Release Days will begin at 12:30 with lunch being served.
