Diabetic Students - WHEN TO CALL PARENTS?
The plan worked so I wouldn't necessarily call or notify. I would try to keep track if there is a pattern and then I would notify parents- say if PE was before lunch and they always dropped, maybe need a snack before PE

Temps at the door?
We are talking about it, but we are thinking bus drivers may have to do it as they are the first point of contact as all our students have the ability to be bused no matter how close or far they live. We have a district PK-12 about 9500 students

Fast Acting Glucose in Classrooms
I make diabetic kits for all my planned teachers per the kiddos schedule, then I add PE, exploratory, some of the aides, music wing, and library. I have been doing 8 glucose tabs for fast acting, peanut butter crackers, and 1 carton of no refrigeration needed chocolate milk. Short acting, plus long acting, plus protein. For cost savings next year I will switch to packs of smarties in each bag. Our high school does not do this, but they do not see their diabetics on a routine basis, but here in MS, All their stuff is in my office and they are not allowed to carry backpacks.

Gave an EPI pen for first time in years
Kid chewed a pretzel that a friend gave him with peanut butter inside. After chewing, realized it and spit it out, but reaction was starting. Vitals were all normal and lungs clear. Gave Benadryl while calling parents. Started with hives around mouth. Gave Epi pen and called 911. Mom and ambulance rolled up at same time and kiddo transported. Kid learned not to eat anything from someone else.

Help with a head injury
I have a student out since September from an altercation with another student causing a concussion- has been out since. Homebound tutoring only began 6 weeks ago and just got continued for an additional 6 weeks. I have so many issues with it including student not being in school but going on school trips and flying in airplanes with seemingly no issues. Our district seems to not be fighting anything mom wants due to potential lawsuit. It is crazy! No advice, sorry!
