News from the Nurse
November 2023
Screenings
You will receive a notice from the school nurse if your child needs further evaluation for vision or hearing.
Important Reminders
- Continue to send in a water bottle with your child each day.
- Don't forget to wear sneakers for gym days.
- If possible, have your child keep an extra set of clothes in their bag for emergencies (food spills, puddles, etc...)
You will receive a notification from your child's nurse if they are missing any immunizations. Please address the issue as soon as possible. Immunizations can be given at the local pharmacies. Reach out to the school nurse if you have any questions.
SMK Winter Apparel
As the weather gets colder, please make sure your child has a coat to wear outside at recess. If you do not have a coat for your child and need assistance, please contact Nurse Jen or Mrs. Hill. We have several coats available for those in need.
If you have gently used snow pants or boots, please feel free to donate them to the SMK nurse and we will distribute to students in need.
Medications
Please be aware that we do not carry or have the authorization to administer cold or cough medicine in school. If your child has a cough or cold (without a fever) and needs medication to alleviate symptoms, it will need to be given at home before school.
Please do not send any medication to school. Students are allowed to bring in cough drops for their own use.
