Nurse's Corner
In the education setting, the school nurse provides individualized healthcare for every student. I understand the school environment and strive to help students maintain their optimal level of health so they can accomplish their educational goals. In order to facilitate health, school environments are key to learning. Teachers, staff, family, community members, and healthcare providers all help in this process. Feel free to contact me anytime with questions or concerns. Justine Wyma, RN, MSN Lynnville-Sully School Nurse PH: 641.594.4445 Ext 127 "You cannot educate a child who is not healthy.

Guidelines for Illness and School Attendance **Please notify the school if your child is going to be absent
or tardy for any reason. **If the absence is due to an illness, please let us know your
child’s symptoms (i.e. nausea, vomiting, fever, headache, sore throat, cough,
rash, body aches, etc). **If your child is ill and has a fever (100 or higher), they
should not return to school until they are fever-free for 24 consecutive hours
without the aid of fever-reducing medications. **If your child is vomiting, they should not return until they
have not vomited for 24 hours. **If your child is being treated for a contagious bacterial
infection (i.e. strep throat, pink eye), they should not return to school until
24 hours after antibiotics are

to encourage good hand washing during this cold/flu season so everyone stays
healthy! |
