School Nurse

Supporting the Health and Well-Being of Every Student

Our school nurse supports the health and well-being of students across all three Triad school buildings, serving learners from Kindergarten through 12th grade. She works closely with students, families, and staff to promote a healthy and safe school environment and to help students stay healthy and ready to learn.

The School Nurse provides care and support for students throughout the school day, assists with health concerns and medical needs, and works with families and staff to ensure students can safely participate in school.

Keeping Students Healthy at School

Families can help us maintain a healthy school environment by keeping students home when they are ill.

• Students with a fever of 100°F or higher or who are vomiting should remain home from school.
• Students should be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication before returning to school.
• Regular hand-washing is one of the best ways to help prevent the spread of illness and infectious diseases.

Medication at School

If your child needs to take any over-the-counter medication during the school year—including medications such as Tylenol, Motrin, Tums, or Benadryl—the medication must:

• Be brought to school by a responsible adult.
• Remain in its original packaging.
• Be accompanied by a completed Non-Prescription Medication Form.

Medication forms are available through the links on this page.

For the safety of all students, medications are not permitted on school buses.

Our goal is to partner with families to support healthy students and ensure that every child is ready to learn and succeed each day.
