Welcome from the Memorial School Nurse!

Medications
and Medical Conditions
Please notify
the nurse of any acute or chronic medical conditions/injuries or medications
regarding your child. Medications or
treatments can be given at school with parental permission and a doctor’s
order. If your child takes a medication
daily in the morning, you may want to supply the nurse with a couple of doses
just in case your child forgets to take it at home.
Flu
vaccines
Flu vaccinations will again be offered to all
Memorial Middle School students and their families. Permission slips will be sent home with your
child, and will be posted on the blog.
If you want your child to receive the influenza vaccine, please sign the
permission slip and have your child return the form to the Nurse’s Office.
Physicals
If your child had a physical exam and/or
immunizations by their primary care provider, please send a copy in to the nurse’s
office. This keeps their school health
record and immunizations up to date. All
7th graders are mandated to have a physical exam and provide
documentation of the physical and immunizations to the nurse’s office. Any 8th graders who have not sent
in a physical/immunizations documentation, please do so ASAP.
Vision
and Hearing Screenings
Vision and hearing screenings are done in the fall
on all 7th grade students.
Any abnormal findings will be communicated to the parent or guardian and
further screening will be recommended.
If you have any concerns about your child’s vision or hearing, please
call the nurse’s office and I will screen your child ASAP.
Postural
Screening
Postural Screening is done in the spring on all
students in grades 5-9. Any abnormal
findings will be communicated to the parent or guardian and further screening
will be recommended.
Nutrition
Please remember to encourage your child to have a
healthy breakfast. Many students are
coming to school without breakfast.
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. It is very difficult for a child to be alert
and learn in the classroom if they have not had anything to eat in the morning.
Please notify the nurse and the food service director of
any dietary restrictions or allergies.
Hygiene
Middle school is a time of tremendous growth and
change. Please encourage your child to
be conscious of their hygiene. They
should be taking showers daily and using deodorant.
Sleep
Habits
Middle School children typically need about 10
hours of sleep per night. All electronic
devices should be turned off during the night.
A good night’s sleep will help your child to do well in school.
Exercise
It is recommended that all children participate in
60 minutes of exercise per day. This can
be riding a bike, walking on the beach, playing a team sport, or playing frisbee
in the backyard!
Please feel free to contact me if you have any
questions or concerns about your child’s health!
