My standard answer is "that's not my business to share" ever noisy teachers get that reply. My youngest diabetic is all about telling anyone that will listen about finger sticks and shots, she tells her class that they make her pretty. LOL, All the ...

"I have been sneezing nonstop for 2 days, can you tell me why?" 20 minutes before final bell. Never once sneezed in the clinic or while waiting in the office. I'm taking a drink on that one!

So many counselors! 3 in the building all day everyday then there are the outside agency counselors coming in a couple times a week to talk to kids on their case load. Everyone of them brings kids to the clinic, sometimes multiple times a day wanting...

Barely a dusting of snow here and....here I am at home! I was really looking forward to the May 19th closing date.

Pre K teacher brought me one that cried all morning, because the other kids wouldn't play with him. Yes I talked to the child and asked a few questions to find out why he was crying, the teacher said he would not talk to her, I think he is pretty s...

Check with the local health department. We do this each fall. Paperwork is not bad. They sent permission forms that go home with students and are returned to school. After we get them back, signed by parent/guardian, we forward the forms to the healt...

We have special guests coming in to read to the classes and I think one day is dress as you favorite Dr Seuss character day. I have Dr Seuss scrub tops that I'll wear the rest of the week and may go read to one of the classes if time allows. I'm wit...

This is why I love this group! Our ESL teacher isn't on site everyday and I never would have thought of Google to translate.

Oh No! Since the last week of January our little school of 200 students has seen 35 doctor confirmed flu cases. Who knows how many of the little dears have had it but didn't get taken to the doctor. 4 cases of strep this week. Pass the germ x please!

Spring break for us is a 4 day weekend at Easter. I am taking a couple days in early April to go on a girls golf trip in SC!! cheifswife, LOVE LOVE the picture in your post!!

No way! I'll be there for the district school wide opening meeting, a hopefully (but never is) short nurses meeting and open house. I'll do the staff training the day before the kids come back but no way will I just come in to catch up! My summer sch...

Especially if the parent works at the school, they are the entitled, rules and policy don't apply to parents.

I had to teach the puberty class this morning and all went well until the second group. The older than dirt miracle of you vhs tape broke!!!! Yeepeee I don't have to show that one again!

After a week of 12% absent rate, it seems I have repeated the policy over and over! Admin posted to school's social media accounts and sent an all call to parents with policy with poor compliance. Parents just don't want to keep them home. Our school...

I have a student that came to us a year ago in a wheelchair (CP). She progressed to a walker and in the last couple months has been leaving that walker and walking away from it! Yesterday an entire grade, not hers, witnessed her walk out of the offic...

12% absent rate each day this week so far. So far its flu, strep and stomach virus. Sent several home today that I expect will be dx with the flu.

I had forgotten First Moon Party! Hmmm tomorrow I get to visit 4th and 5th grade girls....

Wishing all my coworkers on here a VERY MERRY HOLIDAY!! 1 1/2 days of school for me then a much needed 2 weeks of no alarm clocks!!

I have one teacher that tries this at least weekly. If the parents come to the clinic looking for their kid and they haven't been in, I simply tell them the teacher didn't send them so I wasn't made aware their child was sick. Then if they ask I will...

I've made the call in the absence of guidance and approached from the angle of not wanting student to be picked on or bullied by others. Usually works for a few days then it starts again. We have also given the student soap and washcloth, change of c...

Most days mine show up on their own. We are trying something new in the school this year and Fridays are enrichment days so I might need to remind them on those days. (Loving this enrichment thing, less nurse visits after lunch on Friday, they don't ...

The secretary has been out sick for the past 2 days, principal out sick also. It's a very small school so I get the "honor" of covering the phones when everyone is away. This is normally isn't a problem but yesterday and today it was a nightmare!!! T...

In my 4th year, still feeling lost on a regular basis. Give me meds, T1D kids, asthma, injuries but some of the school specific paper work is crazy! I was called just this week about a report that I had no clue I had left info off for the past 3 year...

I have twin boys at my school, both on ADHD med. Fortunately one is blond and the other is brunette. They take the same med but different doses. I made this note in the sub folder since they are known to try and "mess" with the subs here.

Today: 1 shoe emergency, 3 needing a change of clothes (one actually needed due to poop, other 2 it was spilled water). Of course 2 teachers seemed to think the wet pants trumped the T1D that showed up without her pump in place and no call from the p...
