Nurses

 Welcome to Rose M. Lopez Elementary School! For new incoming students, immunizations/physicals are required on the first day of school unless you have a provisional form on file. If your child requires medication (inhalers, epi-pens, daily medication, etc), please have the medications and the physician's paperwork upon return to school. We request that you deliver them personally to me and not send them in with your child. Healthy lunches and snacks are recommended for school - please avoid high-sugar/high-fat foods. Healthy foods contribute to better learners. Please review the  Nurse Health Guidelines regarding times when your child is not feeling well and should be kept home from school.  An absence is medically excused only if it is accompanied by a doctor's note. We look forward to a safe, healthy year with your child. 

¡Bienvenidos a la Escuela Primaria Rose M. Lopez! Para los nuevos estudiantes que ingresan, se requieren vacunas / exámenes físicos el primer día de clases
 a menos que tenga un formulario provisional en el archivo. Si su hijo necesita medicamentos (inhaladores, epi-pens, medicación diaria, etc.), tenga los 
medicamentos y la documentación del médico al regresar a la escuela. Le solicito que me los entregue personalmente y no los envíe con su hijo. Se recomiendan 
almuerzos y refrigerios saludables para la escuela; evite los alimentos con alto contenido de azúcar o grasas. Los alimentos saludables contribuyen a mejorar 
el aprendizaje. Por favor, revise las Pautas de salud para enfermeras con respecto a las ocasiones en las que su hijo no se siente bien y no debe ir a la
 escuela. Una ausencia está justificada médicamente solo si va acompañada de una nota del médico. Espero tener un año seguro y saludable con su hijo.

School nurses can continue to be proactive by advising students, families, and staff to:

• Stay home when you are sick. If possible, stay home from work, school, and errands when you are sick. You will help prevent others from catching your illness. Avoid close contact with people who are sick.
• Avoid touching your eyes, nose, or mouth. Germs spread this way.
• Cover coughs and sneezes. Use a tissue to cover coughs and sneezes, then dispose of the tissue. When a tissue is not available, cough or sneeze into your elbow.
• Clean and disinfect surfaces or objects. Clean and disinfect frequently touched surfaces at home, work or school, especially when someone is ill. Find additional CDC resources on how to clean and disinfect schools.
• Wash hands for 20 seconds. Washing hands often under clean, running water can help prevent the spread of germs. For more guidance see the CDC: When and How to Wash Your Hands. If you cannot wash your hands, use alcohol-based hand sanitizer with at least 60-95% alcohol.
