JEFFERSON SCHOOL - Carol Scalgione, School Nurse

Nurse’s Notes by Carol Scalgione, R.N.

5,974 student office visits, 1821 self adhesive dressings (AKA Band-Aides), 1675 body temperature measurements, 109 teeth lost, heights, weights, blood pressures, vision screenings, hearing screenings, phones ringing, attending meetings, consultations, e-mails, health education…. all of this in just 160 days of school (as of May 14).  WOW!  The Health Office was a busy place!  I am always amazed at what we accomplish!

As the school year draws to a close, I look around and see such beautiful changes in each and every one of our students.  When taking a look and seeing just how much they have grown physically, intellectually, emotionally… I am always awestruck by their growth in just 160 days!  They are something else!

I wish the 5th graders all the best as they continue on to the next step of their education at our middle schools.  Parents/guardians please look for an important notice on the mandated vaccine requirements for 6th graders.

Here’s wishing you all a wonderful summer!
