  1. This is a new one

  4. Strange hearing screening question

    Cattz replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Thanks- I am pretty confident that we are very aware that this will not catch all hearing loss and impairments, it is a screening tool, and not met to catch everything. Same with the vision screenings...

  5. Strange hearing screening question

    Cattz replied to Cattz's topic in School

    I sure will. Thanks for all these responses. Makes me think I have been making it way too complicated ALL these years. After I thought about it...DUHhhhh...it is only in one ear anyway, so what makes...

    Cattz replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Yep. I had one of those boys too. I knew he felt really bad with headache/fever/whatever (and needed tylenol) when he was little and he went right to the point ....He would say "Mom, just give me the...

  7. ADHD meds in milk?

    Cattz replied to Amethya's topic in School

    Apple sauce is a pain...but when it is necessary. I found that the "squeezable" applesauce is THE best thing since sliced

  9. Strange hearing screening question

    Cattz replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Meee Toooo Far! This fascinates me. I am kind of wondering if this may be somehow complicated and comparable to my kiddos that pass my vision screenings, and the teacher and I still don't think that...

  10. Strange hearing screening question

    Cattz replied to Cattz's topic in School

    Good question. I will check. When I was visiting with the teacher. We were talking about a couple students. I know she said that one, if not both of the students in question actually are left handed....

    Cattz replied to Amethya's topic in School

  13. called 911

    Cattz replied to basketball13's topic in School

    Another thought- Whoever covers your job when you are not in the building- secretary, health aide, admin., etc. Are they certified/trained in First Aid? If so, they should be able to decide if a...

  14. called 911

    Cattz replied to basketball13's topic in School

    Glad the kiddo is ok. What a scary situation. It sounds like you are in somewhat the same situation as I am, (being in more than1 building, with miles in between.) To cover the other buildings- where...

  21. New Lice Policies

    Cattz replied to uthscsa2011's topic in School

    I have a couple of tidbits. The first especially for those dealing with teachers and staff hysteria- It has taken awhile, but the teachers/staff all know that the status (or not) of lice on a...

  22. Staff Hysteria

    Cattz replied to Ashizzle's topic in School

    Wow. I am so sorry that you have been put in this situation. This is ridiculous. I would be getting pretty blunt with her at this point. Her health is obviously most important. I hope you can get...
