    I'm considering a policy as well now that we're up to 10 confirmed cases. That doesn't include the ones who haven't called and said it was

    This is my ENTIRE second grade class. I literally hide from them because if I don't, they will bug their teacher incessantly until she sends them to me! Poor girl, she's always apologizing to me for...

    Wow. I knew there was more to it than I was seeing. My plan was to have my district pay for everything and I'm not even sure they will. I haven't presented the idea to them yet as I wanted to have as...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    We have 2 confirmed cases, but several that have been sent home for flu like illness. I won't be surprised at all if more come up. With a campus of only 250 that includes K-12, my admin is a little...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Ok great! This is what I've told them already! I think I just needed to hear some reinforcement since I'm getting so much push back right now. I did speak with the student's dad who personally said...

    I honestly have no idea what to expect from it. My contact I've spoke (briefly) with didn't go into a lot of detail on how its done. She just said you come in for your training, then you'll have a...

    You know, its not anything I've done before but I *think* I would enjoy it. I'm trying to find ways to make myself "more valuable" to my school and this sounded like something that would be easy to...

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    You know, it would probably be a curse if I was actually informed of every call in. I just wish they would clue me in when they see the ones who HAVE been sick back in my office the same week....

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to OyWithThePoodles's topic in School

    OTC Meds and the 18 yr old student

    KeeperOfTheIceRN posted a topic in School

    Hey guys! How do y'all handle your 18 year olds with OTC meds? I have a senior with a baggie of ibuprofen gel caps (yes, I'm positive that's honestly what they are) and my principal asked if she is...

    OTC Meds and the 18 yr old student

    KeeperOfTheIceRN replied to KeeperOfTheIceRN's topic in School

    Yes! This is ultimately what I told my principal. I've decided that if I start letting the 18 year olds carry OTC meds, then I'm basically picking and choosing who I apply my policy to and that can...
