School Nurse
Together We Can!
We are a Peanut-Free School
My mission is to assist the teachers as a source in teaching the Health Standards for personal and community health, nutrition and physical activity, alcohol, tobacco and other drugs and to be prepared for any medical problems that occur at school. I try to make my teaching as fun as possible. Super Germ Fighter and Power Panther are a couple of the characters I use to assist me. Prevention is my goal. I try to teach the children and staff how to keep them as healthy as possible. I also screen every student coming into the school yearly for vision and hearing and make referrals if needed. Parents are contacted by me whenever students are absent to see what types of symptoms are going around. Keeping me abreast of any medical conditions your child has will help enable me to serve him/her better. Good health is important for “good learning.”
Either a substitute or I are in the clinic whenever there are children in the building. I make sure all the students are current on their immunizations and screen children for contagious illnesses. I am a CPR/AED certified instructor. We have several staff members who are CPR/AED certified. Our school has 2 AED’s. One is in the front lobby and the other is located at the end of the second hall outside the music room. I keep my staff informed on health issues concerning the students in their charge and keep them updated on how to treat these conditions.
Due to the increased number of students each year who are allergic to peanuts, and the serious medical problems that can result from being around peanuts, the Ft Rucker Primary School has decided to become peanut-free. This means we will not be serving anything with peanuts/peanut products in the cafeteria or as snacks/ treats in the classrooms. It also means that parents cannot send in items that will be shared with the whole class that have peanuts or peanut products. However, we cannot prevent parents who pack their students lunches from sending in items with peanuts for their student only.
Please explore the tabs to see what our school policies on medications, immunizations and illnesses are. If you have further questions you can always contact the school, ask for the school nurse and speak to me personally at 334-255-2822 ext.1542
