The primary focus of the school nurse is to be an advocate for children’s health + safety within the educational setting.

Please go to the Hampton City Schools website – find sub title Parents , then down on the bottom list find

Health Services . This is where you will find all the information you need including phone #’s for the School Health Advisory Board as well as

• School Entrance Physical/Immunization requirements

• All Medical Forms required for any medicine needed at school (including over-the-counter medicine)

• Should my child stay home from school today questions and answers

• And much much more information about all your health concerns.

In addition – HCS policy states if your child has a fever of 100.4, they need to stay at home and remain home for 48hrs after they are fever free without any medication given for fever.

To prevent the spread of germs, especially during this season of Flu and stomach virus - please encourage frequent hand washing after each bathroom use, before eating meals, playing with toys, and trips out to any public places. Also, cover your nose and mouth with a tissue or use your elbow not your hand to cover mouth or nose when sneezing or coughing.
