A Message from Nuse Adams
Hello, Mentone Elementary Families!
As the school nurse at Mentone Elementary, my priority is supporting the health and well-being of all our students. If you have any questions or concerns about your child’s medical needs, please feel free to reach out—I’m here to help!
This page will be a helpful resource for parents, providing access to important medical forms, health updates, and other essential information to ensure your child receives the best care during the school day.
Thank you for trusting me with your child's health. I look forward to working together to keep our Bulldog family safe and thriving!
Mentone Medical Policy
Each school has access to a school nurse. The school nurse maintains student health records and provides basic medical care to Mentone students. Parents should not send their student to school if he or she: 1) has a fever of 100 degrees or more. They should stay home for 24 hours after the temperature returns to normal without fever-reducing medication. 2) Has vomited or had diarrhea. The student should stay home for 24 hours after the last episode. 3) Has a rash that may be disease-related or from an unknown cause. We believe that if a student is well enough to attend school, he/she should be well enough to participate fully in the regular school day. However, we recognize that a student with some extended illnesses may be unable to fully participate in some activities, such as physical education. We will expect a doctor’s request for the exemption of any physical education activities for more than two days.
Parent Contact for Illness
Students must be evaluated by the nurse before they can be released from school for illness. Students who feel ill should request to see the nurse. The nurse will call home if the student needs to leave school.
Below, we have linked the most commonly requested forms. If you have any questions or have an additional need, please contact Nurse Adams.
