Parkview School Nurse
Mission
The mission of the school nurse is to facilitate and
strengthen the educational process by improving and
protecting the health status of students. School nurses
identify and assist the removal or modification of
health-related barriers to learning.
Healthy students are better learners
Keep your child home from school when:
• They have experienced vomiting or diarrhea within
the last 24 hours;
• They have had a fever of 100.0 degrees or more
within the last 24 hours;
• They have signs of contagious diseases such as strep
throat, pink eye, impetigo, ringworm, etc. - children may
return to school after they have been on medication for 24
hours;
• They are waiting for a strep throat culture to be
read;
• They have head lice - children may return to school
when they are treated, are nit-free and seen by the school
nurse, or
• They have had chicken pox for 7-10 days or until
scabs are dry.
Contact your school nurse if you have other questions or
refer to the school handbook for more information.
