Occasionally I see a bona fide case of EIB on the elementary level but it is very occasional and usually manifests as a result of recess, where kids exert themselves many times greater than they do at...
Yes, mom has the right to override you. Don't fret over it. Call her if you need to but if you can't contact her it's unlikely one day at school with high BG will be an emergency. Just leave a voice...
Put 3 blades of grass on a piece of aluminum foil, sprinkle the grass with salt and pepper, fold the aluminum foil into a triangle and place it in a dark place with one point of the triangle facing...
Every time the kid comes to see you, send him directly to his mom's classroom with a note from you, indicating his temp and complaint, asking her what she wants to do. I deal with this often and this...
I'm in...it's about time you stuck your head in. Speaking of head - heads up. I've changed colors this school year. Blue long sleeve, 100% cotton, crew neck

I don't see a mention of the consequences of untreated ADD/ADHD; bad stuff - the information is out there. This is my 15th year as an elementary school nurse. Articles like this are completely...
