We are actually talking about moving the other way. Our school is one "late start" schools in the district, going from 9-4. I go back and forth on if I love it or hate it. I am a morning person, so...

Does your school have a lot of 504s? Maybe your admin team doesn't know they can say no without legal repercussions? Based on what you put above, we would not of approved the 504 at my school. What...
This is definitely a behavior issue, not medical. I don't know what kind of charting system you use, but SNAP allows me to pull the amount of time I've spent with a student (aka missed instruction...
I had a teacher pop in to tell me that we have 45 more school days left of school. I didn't think the counting down would start until after spring break (next week for us)! Anyone else already...
I'm in the middle of a similar situation with a student but the problem we have is that he is doing SO MUCH better socially and academically on the XR that the student doesn't want to switch back...

I wonder about this a lot. Most of my staff here are parents and sometimes I look at the little ones they have sent to me (over and over) and I wonder how they handle their own child? Is every tummy...
1. I have a pencil case that I put thicker tissues soaked with Saline in my fridge and pass those out to kids during allergy season. I make them wash their hands and faces first. I also usually send a...
Today is our big health video day. The PE teachers and counselors offered to handle it all without me (it's been a chaotic week in my office/building). One of my TD1 diabetics walks into my office in...

I have taken the phone from little one's that lie to their parents in front of me and call them out on it. Sadly most of the time it doesn't matter because usually the parents of the kids who are...
Your school needs to realize that your students health comes before their classes. If they need to be medicated during the day, it's most likely because their condition affects their performance in...
I've talked about this student before on here. He's one of my SS kids with a seizure disorder and he loves me. Like cheers for me whenever he sees me, would be in charge of the Nurse Wine fanclub...
I think you guys are on two different pages of the same book. If we are ONLY talking about schools, I absolutely want an armed SRO. It may not be a preventive measure, but I feel like it ranks as...
Are they doing special lessons? This week is a crazy week for the students here. We have a leadership day tomorrow with shortened schedules and special afternoon classes being held in different...

I feel the same! Maybe it's a part of the fight or flight reaction in us all? Anaphylaxis is a medical emergency and can be scary for anyone to witness. And all of the allergists I talk to here (10+...
