Healthy Children & School Nurses

"You can't educate a child who isn't healthy, and you can't keep a child healthy who isn't educated."

Need a doctor?  Does your child need immunizations?  No health insurance?  Contact the Community Visiting Nurses Association to find out if you are eligible for FREE immunizations and well-baby care.   Call   908-725-9355   ext 0. 

 

Please keep your child home if s/he has …
  • a fever 100 degrees or more (even the night before)
  •  a stomach ache, nausea, diarrhea, or vomiting (even the night before)
  • nagging, hacking cough, sneezing, or has a runny nose with thick green mucous
  • sore throat with headache
  • red or pink eyes, with or without discharge
  • any open, weepy sore

 

IF your child has any of these complaints, even if she or he has had them the night before, please keep your child home from school the following day.  A good rule of thumb is the 24 hour rule…no illness for the past 24 hours before coming back to school.  Children should also be fever free for 24 hours without taking any fever-reducing medicine, such as Tylenol or Motrin before returning to school.
 

Any and all absences from school need to be called in to the SCHOOL NURSE by 9:00am at 732-652-7991.  Upon return to school, please submit a note explaining the reason for absence.  Absences for 3 days or more require a doctor’s note upon return.

 

If your doctor prescribes medicine for your child, try to schedule it when the child is home.  If medicine is absolutely necessary during the school day, a BOUND BROOK Medication Permission form must be filled out and signed by your doctor and the parent.  See HEALTH FORMS for a copy. All medicines MUST be brought to school by the parent or guardian.  Of course, the parent may come to the school at any time and administer medication to his/her child in the nurse’s office, if that is more convenient.
