Health Office at NPCS
Questions for our health office can be directed to our School Nurse, Cheryl Judd, at cajudd or by calling the Main Office at 816-3440.
Physical Exams & Immunizations
All students must have up-to-date immunizations and physical exams on file with our school nurse.
Records can be faxed to the school (838-7448), dropped off, or emailed to nurse Judd at cajudd.
Vision & Hearing Screening
Students are screened each year for vision and hearing at the school.
Student Medication
If your child must receive medication while at school, please be sure to read over this information in our Family Handbook (available on our webpage).
**In order for a child to receive medication at school, the School Nurse must have the proper release signed by the parent and have a script from the doctor.
Please call our Health Office for any questions.
Student Illness
If your child gets sick, it is often most appropriate to keep him/her home from school. A child who is sick will not be able to perform well in school and is likely to spread the illness to other children and staff. Please make arrangements for childcare ahead of time so you will not be caught without a place for your child to stay if he/she is ill.
Our school policy states that you should not send your child to school if he/she has:
• Fever in the past 24 hours
• Vomiting in the past 24 hours
• Diarrhea in the past 24 hours
• Chills
• Sore throat
• Strep throat – must have been taking antibiotic for at least 24 hours before returning to school
• Bad cold with runny nose or bad cough; especially if it has kept the child awake at night
