Notes from Nurse Amber
Welcome to PCES!
Hi, my name is Amber McJunkin and I want to welcome you to the 2022-2023 school year. My role is to work with you and your child to ensure a smooth and healthy year at PCES. I am here to assist in any way that I can as a nurse in the school clinic.
I have listed some information below that should help answer questions you may have regarding the clinic at PCES.
A physician’s signature is required on all Medical Care Plans and Administration of Medication forms for prescription medications and OTC medications.
All action plans – food/insect allergies, asthma, diabetes, seizures, etc. must be signed by a physician.
Food allergies are not recognized unless we have a food/insect allergy action plan signed by a physician listing the specific allergen.
NO medications are supplied by the school. Medications of any type, even over the counter medications, should never be delivered to school by the child. We require the parent to bring medications to the clinic and fill out a medication administration form and/or action plans prior to the nurse administering medication.
Food allergies of any kind are not recognized by our cafeteria staff unless we have a Food Allergy Action plan signed by a Physician listing the specific food allergy.
Please keep our staff and the school nurse informed of any health conditions that could affect your child while at school.
For younger students --Children do have accidents at school; please be sure to send a change of clothing in their backpack to keep at school.
To aid in keeping students well we do abide by a sickness policy. Please refer to the handbook or contact your school nurse for further guidance.
I look forward to establishing a relationship with you and your child. I am always available by phone or you may come to see me in the clinic. Please feel free to call anytime at 228-452-5202. Fax number is 228-452-9614.
Thank You…...
Nurse Amber
