Welcome to the 2023-2024 School Year!
JUST A FEW REMINDERS FROM YOUR SCHOOL NURSE:
-
If your child requires medication to be given at school- Please complete a medication request and have your health care provider sign it. School staff cannot administer medications without your consent, the provider’s signature, and original labeled medication bottles. If medications need to be cut in half, parents must do that prior to sending the medication to school.
-
Student Health Changes- Please report any changes in your child’s health to school as soon as possible. You can email me at stefanie.rebholz@oshkosh.k12.wi.us and I will contact you regarding school interventions. If your child has a health plan in place, you should have received an email with the plan attached. Please update and return as soon as possible.
-
Students with Allergies- If your child has a serious allergy requiring antihistamines or an epipen at school, please provide that by the first day of school, with a completed Allergy Plan.
-
Asthma Students- All students with asthma are allowed to carry their rescue inhaler at school to use as needed. Please have your provider complete this Asthma Plan.
-
Diabetic Students- All diabetic students must have emergency supplies and testing equipment provided by parents. The school nurse needs to get updated diabetic plans in place prior to the start of school. Please be sure to contact the doctor office to get updated diabetic orders sent to the school.
