Message from the School Nurse

FROM THE RICE CREEK HEALTH ROOM…………
PARENTS/GUARDIANS:
We have had an incredible amount of visits to the health room so far this year. This is where the school nurse needs your help to talk with your children about what are appropriate health room visits. The school nurse is responsible for seeing that the students are healthy. The health room personnel also provide basic first aid and can communicate with you if your child becomes ill or seriously injured at school. Reminders about the health room:
  •         Health room personnel provide basic first aid for incidents that occur during school hours.
  •          Our health room does not keep stock medication such as Tylenol or cough drops. If your child needs a prescription medication, a medication permission form must be signed by the doctor and the medication brought to the health room in its original package with label. Medications should not be sent on the bus. Over-the-c0unter medications can be sent in the original package with a medication permission form filled out by the parent/guardian, or a note brought in with the medication stating the name of the medication, how much to give, what time or how often child is allowed to have the medication. Again, medications should not be sent on the bus and it is always best to have a parent/guardian bring medication directly to health room. All medications must be locked in the health room.
  •          OUR HEALTH ROOM SERVICES ARE NOT A REPLACEMENT FOR GOOD MEDICAL CARE FROM YOUR FAMILY HEALTH CARE PROVIDER. Our health room personnel may be able to assist you in obtaining a provider if you do not have one.

Thank you all for your cooperation and for taking time to speak with your children. If you have any questions regarding your child’s health, please do not hesitate to contact the school nurse!
