School Nurse and Medication

Nurses: Ms. Ivers and Ms. Seigel

Nurse -- Greeley's school nurse is at Greeley each day from 8:30 AM to 3:30 PM. Please feel free to call her with any concerns at 446-2638. Also, please call the nurses' office at any time you child has a contagious disease, whether it occurs on the weekend, during vacation or on a school day. Contagious diseases to be reported include Strep Throat, Scarlet Fever, Chicken Pox or other serious contagious illnesses.

Medication in School -- It may occasionally be necessary for your child to receive medicine while attending school. Although this is not encouraged, the following procedure has been adopted in order for the schools to comply with your requests and those of your physician. The school must have both a written order from your physician stating dose, time, interval, side effects and duration of treatment (forms are available in the nurses' office and most physicians' offices); and a signed permission form from the parent or guardian (forms are available in the nurses' office). Medication must be brought to school in the original container--both prescription and non-prescription -- never in a baggie or envelope, and all medication is to be administered by the school nurse or the parent if the nurse is not available. Children must never carry or take medication on their own. If you have any questions about these procedures, please contact the school nurse.
