1. Organizing end of the year paperwork

   it'snotatumor replied to it'snotatumor's topic in School

   Do you send your files on to the next school as students progress through grades (i.e. does the middle school nurse send files to the junior high nurse?) or does each school nurse have a file on students while they are there? It just seems like a was...

2. Organizing end of the year paperwork

   it'snotatumor posted a topic in School

   Ok, so my title is pretty much anti-clickbait, but what papers (i.e health forms, Dr.'s notes, med administration forms, etc,) do you keep at the end of the year and how do you store them? Our district has no specific system in place currently and th...

7. Florida students self carrying own otcs

   it'snotatumor replied to Flare's topic in School

   Thanks for posting this article, it was eye-opening for me. I work at a jr. high (grades 7 & 8 currently, approx. 600 students) in rural MO and students grades 7-12 can ALL carry OTC and non-controlled prescription medication in its original pack...

8. It's just anaphylaxis

   it'snotatumor posted a topic in School
