    Make the call to CPS

    SnowyJ replied to zombieghoast's topic in School

    The lack of follow through medically would be a reason to call CPS. (Medical neglect.) However, if your counselor has concerns, she needs to document them and should be wiling to be named on the...

    3rd Grader Pooping Pants to go Home

    SnowyJ replied to lifelearningrn's topic in School

    I have a 4th grader who still poops his pants to earn his "get out of jail free" card. Like you, I just have him get cleaned up and change. When he was little, I called mom to let her know. Some...

    Unlicensed Teacher Subs

    SnowyJ replied to guest83140's topic in School

    You ATE that in my Clinic???

    SnowyJ replied to Saphy's topic in School

    Trust me, the Health Office is cleaner than ANY room in the school. I am crazy about sanitizing. Of course, if I have a sick child on the cot, I would not have anyone eat in the clinic. I do give out...

    Do You have a WebPage on your school website?

    SnowyJ replied to Supernrse01's topic in School

    No website, but I do have a facebook page. I find a lot of our parents prefer using social media for their info. My Principal encourages staff members to have a page. I post what is trending,...

    It sounds to me like you did all you could and should do. We don't have any respiratory standing orders at my school and it worries me. I know for sure I would not have that student come back to...

    Guidance for Teachers (traffic control)

    SnowyJ replied to amnesiac1c's topic in School

    I like the "prime time" idea. I may have to try that. Though many students come to me right off the bus. They know if they chance getting to class, the teacher might encourage them to stay. I check...
