Machetanz Elementary News
August Welcome Back!
Welcome Back! We are so excited to have students back in the building next week.
Students may bring in their supplies during the first week of school and all families will be able to meet our staff during Open House next week.
A lot of thought and time has gone into making balanced class list. We have placed students in classes with all the information we have on students from teachers and parents We are confident that your student will have a great year with the staff we have and the class in which they have been placed.
We would like to welcome Mrs. Bushey back as a first grade teacher as well as Mr. Lynn, Ms. Simon and Ms. Burkhardt to our Special Education teaching team.
We will not be able to accommodate requests to change teachers. We look forward to seeing everyone Monday for the first day of school.
Kindergarten Roll in is this Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday (Aug 14th-16th).
Shot Records and Birth Certificates
Students must be up to date with vaccinations in order to attend school. Please make sure our nurse has a copy of your updated shot records. We want all kids to be in school!
Nurse's Corner and Important information about CAREDOX
I hope everyone is enjoying the end of their summer. I’m so excited to be joining the Machentanz staff this year as the school nurse and look forward to meeting you next week as school begins. My goal for this school year is to provide the best care possible to your student by not only caring for their needs during the school day, but also providing healthy lifestyle and risk prevention education to aid in leading to a healthy future. To best accomplish these goals it is very important that I have up to date medical information for the students.
As many of you have seen, this year the school district has implemented a new medical information registration system called CareDox. If you have registered your student, you should have received an e-mail regarding this system. Following receiving this e-mail, you should be able to go in to your student Care Dox to add/update medical information, give authorizations, input records etc. I understand that for many this has been a very stressful process, but once this system is running it will provide me with the ability to more efficiently and effectively care for your student during the school day.
If you have not completed your student’s CareDox, I urge you to do so as soon as possible. If you are having issues with the program, please contact us here at the school(907)864-2300. We can answer a majority of questions regarding information on inputting information into CareDox. If your student following registration is not showing up in CareDox, we request that you contact Care Dox (347)696-7067 or support@caredox.com.
Your patience and support is much appreciated while working through the kinks of a new system and apologize for any inconvenience that it has caused.
Thank you so much and have a great week,
Maribeth Murray, RN
