Welcome to Nurse Patty's Office!
Office Hours 8:30a - 1:30p
Welcome back to school!
Please be sure to meet with me to discussany health concerns or issues which may affect your child during the school day. I will be at school during drop off time Wednesday and Thursday of the first week of school and Monday and Tuesday of the next week. My office is located on the lower level, convent side. Please remember the policy for medication administration in school, medications include EPI pens. All medication to be given at school must be brought to the nurse by a parent.
Medication Administration- Medications to be given during the school day require (a) physicians order, (b) parental consent and (c) 30 day supply of medication. **All this to be in place before any meds will be administered at school.
As we progress through the year please continue to notify me of any changes in your child's health as a result of injury or illness.
A brief summary of health information needed for the health office:
Physical Exam- prior to first entry and every 3 years after. Annual physicals if participating in the basketball program. Please remember to get copies at your office visits this summer.

Children with special health care needs - it is vital parents meet with me at the beginning of the school year to develop a plan.

I look forward to working with you to keep the children healthy in school, so they are able to learn~
