Bowne-Munro Elementary School

Log onto the Parent Portal and update emergency contact information. This is important in the event your child is sick and needs to be picked up. 

Please send all medication with the "Medication in School" form which can be located HERE. 

Health & Safety Reminders

As the weather gets nicer, the students will be going outdoors for recess, snack time and PE class as well as other times throughout the school day. Please be sure your child is prepared for outdoor activities. The following are a few guidelines:

• Appropriate clothing, including hat and sunglasses if desired
• Water bottle
• Sunscreen applied at home (staff is not permitted to apply sunscreen)
• Allergy medications should be administered as prescribed before coming to school

If your child benefits from additional allergy medications throughout the day such as eye drops, you should speak to their doctor and have them complete the "Medication in School" form. You can send the completed form and the medication to the nurse's office to be stored if needed. 

In general, we are not able to accommodate specific requests for your child to remain indoors without a note from their doctor. 

Goals of School Nursing:

• Promote the optimal level of health for students and staff.
• Assist students to become increasingly responsible for their own health.
• Provide health education and health counseling for students, parents and
  staff.
• Identify health problems and needs of students and make appropriate
  recommendations.
• Provide direct health services as needed.
• Promote environmental health and safety within the school and during school
  related activities.
• Deliver a comprehensive program that conforms with state mandates.

As Flu season is upon us, here are a few reminders to keep you and your children healthy. We will be reinforcing good hygiene practices in school and hope that you can reinforce them at home.
