M N NURSE INFORMATION Good health is essential for your child’s regular attendance and academic success. Please notify your child’s teacher of any medical conditions that could impact learning or participation. If your child is running a fever or feeling unwell, we ask that you keep them home to rest and recover. Additionally, if your child sustains an injury outside of school, please ensure they receive appropriate care before returning to school. Pinehurst has a full-time school nurse available daily to support student health and wellness. Health services at school include vision and hearing screenings for all Pre-K students, Second Graders, new students to the county, and students referred by teachers or parents. Parents will be notified if any concerns are identified during these screenings. If you do not wish for your child to participate in the screenings, you may opt out by submitting a written request to the school administrator. In the event of sudden illness or injury at school, first aid will be administered by the nurse or a trained staff member. Parents will be contacted if the situation requires attention beyond what the school can provide. If parents cannot be reached and emergency care is needed, 911 will be called for assistance. If a student is sent home with a fever, they must remain at home and be fever-free for 24 hours without the use of medication before returning to school. Medication All prescriptions and all non-prescription medications that are given during school hours require a physician's medication form signed by a doctor. This includes cough drops, cough syrup, aspirin, etc. A responsible adult MUST bring all medication to school in the original container. Children are NOT to transport medications to or from school. Children are also not to keep medication in their possession during the school day. If you have any concern regarding this policy, please contact the school nurse.
