From the Nurses’ Office Fall 2018
Fall is here and the change in the weather brings allergies, the flu, colds, and other illnesses. Here at JFK we encourage good hand washing and all teachers remind students about sneezing, tissue disposal etc. Flu shots are very important in the prevention of serious illness and we encourage you to get a flu shot for your child and yourself.
The State of CT has changed the screening requirements for middle school. The only screening required is scoliosis for grade 7 girls. The screening will be held during the PE class. Any student who is not in PE( for any reason) will be screened in the nurses’ office. Referral Letters will be sent home if your child has a known diagnosis or if the
nurse observes any signs of concern. Fall screenings were already held.
Concussions, breaks, sprains, crutches and other problems: If your child sustains a concussion or any physical injury, call the nurses’ office and we will help with your student’ s return. Please be sure your student comes to the nurses’ office when returning to school and has the doctor or emergency room notes. We have plans for all
types of injuries and / or needs.
The nurses are in the office from 7:20 AM until 3 PM on school days. The phone numbers are 860-763-8880 and 860- 763-8887. Our fax number is the main school fax number 860-763-8888.
