Welcome to Our School Nurse Page

The School Nurse enhances student achievement
by improving the Health and Safety of our children

A NOTE FROM OUR NURSE:

COVID-19 Guidance

If a student is really sick, he/she should be kept at home.  This helps stop infection of other children. ºìÐÓÖ±²¥app wellness policy is as follows below.  Children should not attend school if:

 Temperature is 100.4 or above, children need to be fever free for 24 hours without the use of fever reducing medication before returning to school.

• If the student has been on an antibiotic for LESS THAN 24hrs. 
• They have had diarrhea or vomiting in the last 24 hours.
• They have a rash with fever.
• They have  bacterial pink eye, (red or pink watery eyes that may have white or yellow discharge), they may not return until 24 hours after antibiotic treatment has begun.
• They have Strep throat-they may not return until after 24 hours of treatment and with out a fever.
• They have ringworm, they may return after 24 hours of treatment and area must be covered with a bandage while in school until area is resolved.
• They have chickenpox, they must stay out of school until all lesions have crusted over.
• They have a frequent OR persistent cough.
• They have frequent OR persistent complaints of pain/discomfort

Parents please note that the supplies used in the clinic are purchased entirely by PTO funds.  With over 8,000 clinic visits per school year, we indeed generate a "huge" need for ongoing replenishing of supplies.  I am, and the children of VCE are VERY GRATEFUL to the PTO for their most generous & constant support of the VCE Clinic & our "awesome" children!
