 A MESSAGE FROM THE NURSE

  

Welcome to Silver Spring Elementary’s Nurse's Office! 

There is a nurse present every school day.  The safety, health and welfare of your child are the priority of this office.

 

Following is some general information about the health suite:

 

  • Each year every child (K-5) is weighed, measured, has a vision screening.
  • Auditory screening is done in grades K-3.
  • Screenings are done as early as possible in the school year. .
  • A physical and dental examination is required in kindergarten or (original entry into school). A dental examination is again required in third grade.  Forms for these exams are found at the end of this memo and can be downloaded.  If parents are unable to attain the required examinations, please contact the nurse’s office.

Please keep the nurse informed of any changes in your child’s health.  Examples of changes include: new medications, new allergies, surgeries, a new health problem or dietary restriction.  Other pertinent information is a list of any medications that your child is taking.

 

Please familiarize yourself with the School District Medication Policy.  If your child requires medication to be given in school you will need a School Medication Administration Authorization Form which will need to be signed by the doctor.   Information on the policy along with parental and physician authorization is included on the form.  If you require an additional form, contact the nurse’s office or download it from our website.

 

Every attempt is made to keep you informed of any health problems here at school.  Any pertinent development during the school day is followed up by a telephone call or a note is sent home in your child’s book bag/back pack. 

 

Please feel free to contact the nurse’s office with any questions or concerns.
