Addressing Student Body Odor

[SchoolNurseK]

How do I delicately approach a student regarding body odor? Particularly if they come from a cultural background where deodorant is not common and body odor is not viewed as an issue?

if i were a kid (or heck, even now as an adult), i'd be creeped out that someone got into my locker to leave me a care package of ANYTHING let alone hygiene items.

I like that you’re thinking creatively but I don’t like this idea! I think he would think that a peer wrote it and he’d be mortified, thinking that everyone was gossiping about him.

And besides how do you get into someones locker? Aren't they locked? Isn't that the purpose of a locker, to lock and keep others out?

You are right .,please forgive my ignorance. I've been out of school,for very long time. Alot of things have changed, I'm sure.

Actually, some lockers have those vents on them so if you were going to stick a note or letter in there, you could. Just poke it through the vent. Anything bigger than a note, then there would be no way to get it in there.
