Nurses Corner

Grade 5 Students - Postural Screening (May- June) Grade 4 Students - Health /Immunization Update- if you have not done so already - provide the Nurse with the most recent Physical exam. All students - Please remember to send in something for your child each day as daily snacks are important for students at school. Children often can become hungry and need a mid-day nutritious snack for energy needs. Students have been encouraged to bring in snacks that are healthy- such as fruits, veggies, protein and /or whole grain carbs like granola bars. (Please be mindful of nut allergy protocols) Snacks should not be desserts- this can lead to unhealthy blood sugar spikes that cause children to not feel well during the course of the school day. Nurse Mudge's goal is that all students are healthy and ready to learn. Please contact Nurse Mudge if you have any concerns about your child's health 781-319-3985
