Thank you KKEGS. I do the same. No delay. I haven't ever used a peak flow meter. However, the order has parameters according to the student's peak flow. Im not following it if I am not checking what it is. If I am not misunderstanding something, I...

Thank you KKEGS. I do the same. No delay. I haven't ever used a peak flow meter. However, the order has parameters according to the student's peak flow. Im not following it if I am not checking what it is. I think I will leave it up to the parents...

It seems I have a kindergarten student that is new to the US preparing to enroll this semester. The student has one of each vaccine according to the Immunization record. I have read the catch up schedule...but I am still a bit...just a bit...confuse...

Very Nice! I like that policy. My school talks tough but they are wimps with enforcement. After last year's debacle, I tried to institute a new policy this school year and everyone agreed last semester and alllllllll summer until literally today.

La flaca wow. Your administrator deserves the strongest side eye I can muster for making that announcement in front of the staff. Unfortunately I am sorry I do not have much experience in the bed bug matter at my school but I'd be doing exactly what...

Fortunately I haven't been in too many situations where a parent has been out of line but I did raise my voice at one over the phone once. I really did try my best at staying on topic and not letting my emotions get in the way however this parent ke...

We just might be!!! ? How do you get through registration? Does your school allow parents to begin classes without the necessary documents? This is my school's first year mandating the health forms (private school) and I think the registrar's head ...

Wow! That sounds a bit exciting and also exasperating! ? I did ask for them to have their pediatrician provide documentation of the vaccination schedule they'll be following to catch up. (for documentation purposes if the state stops by) Thank you v...

Enroll the student! Exclude according to state laws and non adherence to the schedule. Will do and thank you!

Excellent! You are so thorough and you made it easier to understand. Thank you very much!!

Hiiiiiii! Welcome back everyone! I sure did miss all of you.

Parent: We aren't getting enough notification regarding health form requirements!! *Sends emails, txts and backpack letters regarding immunizations, physicals and medication forms specific to my state last semester and over summer* Two days before sc...

Situation: Student with a permanent medical diagnosis in need of assistance with pain management initially came to the medical room for help last semester in pain. At the time, found that student was allowed to carry oxycodone by parent to take whil...

I understand your dilemma. Does your school have any policies regarding yearly physicals/check ups and the like? I ask because perhaps they would then HAVE to find a health care provider to follow up with their child for reentry to school for the n...

You will definitely, definitely, definitely be missed. We appreciate your advice so much. Have a wonderful time enjoying retirement!

@Kooky Korky Sooo....I think I will take the good advice from what you wrote and let the assumptions about what I allow or dont evaporate into ether. At the core, what you wrote has good intentions, thank you for the advice.

I want to thank each of you for the encouragement, advice and shared experiences. It has made a discouraging day better. Next week is the last week of school! ??‍♀️?? Ruby I will be careful not to share my opinions on email. Just the facts.

Update: Parent notified administration that they will "not be bringing their children back to this school next year". Physician order forms submitted for every daily med the kid takes due to trip being overnight. Effective by dates written incorrec...

Yep. Sometimes I had to shake my head in amazement at the level of cognitive dissonance shown by the parents. I really did try to be as accommodating as possible. I tried to remember it has more to do with them than me.

They do have a policy but I have noted that enforcement seems to be an issue on various points around here.

Thank you! And no, not a high school. K-8. I will definitely be discussing this further with administration during the last administrative meeting. My chin is UP!!!! Thank you for the encouragement!

I wish there was a heart emoji. Thank you so much.

Your district policy is that (-/+) if the student divulges to you, you must tell the student to tell their parent/call the parent in or you can counsel/encourage them to tell their parents?

Yes, I have this issue at my school. I am often not notified of school trips in advance. I would find out maybe a couple of days before or same day of the trip which leaves me scrambling to prep. Since I am at a small school, for next year I am reque...

Sooooo, I received an unofficial notice that I would be asked to cover the daycare that has their daycare center in our private school building. I was hired to the school to cover K-8 only. The daycare has about 60 kids and has a separate administra...
