Nurse

Mission Statement

APS Nurses uniquely enhance the educational process for APS students by utilizing a standards/evidence-based practice to help students achieve academic excellence and to promote a quality, safe learning and working environment.

Illness

Please make sure that we have all of your current telephone numbers and emergency contact information on file in the office.

Should your child become ill or injured at school, it is extremely important that we are able to reach you. Please ensure that the school staff is notified of any changes to your work or home telephone numbers. Also please provide us with a name and phone number of someone that we can contact in the event we cannot reach you. The emergency contact should live locally. 

If your child has been sick, vomiting, and/or with a fever, please keep them at home for at least 24 hours until they are clear from any symptoms without the need of medication.

Grade Level and New Student Health Screening

We want to make sure all of our students can see, hear and have basic health in order to learn!  The following screenings are the required screenings for APS.

• Kindergarten and students new to APS: Hearing, distance vision, stereopsis, color vision, height and weight, dental.
• First Grade: Distance vision.
• Third Grade: Distance vision, height and weight, dental.

If any concerns are found you will be contacted via telephone and letter.
