Nurse’s Notes
Allergy/Anaphylaxis
Steller Secondary is a LATEX-REDUCED environment. Do not bring latex gloves, balloons, or other items made of latex into the building.
Parents of children with a known anaphylactic reaction especially to food, animals, or bee/wasp sting must provide the school with an Allergy/Anaphylaxis Plan completed by a physician. The nurse reviews the plan and gives a copy to the student’s teachers. Teachers are trained to administer the epinephrine auto-injector and it will go with the child on field trips. If you need a copy of the Allergy/Anaphylaxis Plan to take to your doctor please contact the school nurse.
Asthma
If your child requires an inhaler at school we must have an Asthma Action Plan on file. You may obtain one by calling the school nurse.
PE Excuses
PE excuses are cleared by the nurse. If a student will need to be out of PE for more than three days, a written request from a physician is necessary. The request must specify the length of the absence (including the return date,) and the justification for it.
Medication
If your child requires medication during the school day, please contact the me for the required paperwork. All medication must be provided in the original container. The nurse cannot give out any loose medication that is sent to school in a baggie. Students are prohibited by ASD policy from carrying controlled substance medications, such as those prescribed for ADD/ADHD, to school to give to the nurse. An adult must bring in this medication. All controlled medication must be counted by the nurse in view of the parent/guardian. If you have questions about medication administration at school, you can call or email me.
Donations
Lunch, snack, and drink donations are still needed for students who forget or don’t have lunch. Lunch and snack items that do not require refrigeration or freezing and have a good shelf life work best. Here are some suggestions for donations: soup cups, granola bars, cheese cracker snack packs, tuna and cracker snack packs, juice boxes, plastic spoons etc.
Thank You
Thank you to parents and family of Taran Haynes for donating lunches in September!
If you have any questions or your student has any special health concerns, you can reach at 742-4963.
