School Health
Hello, my name is Mrs. Kristie Murray and I am a certified school nurse here at Richland Elementary! I am beyond excited to care for your child during their school day. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns throughout the year. I aim to provide nursing services to students while promoting education and wellness. Please contact me with any questions or concerns and we will work together to make this a great year for everyone!
Important To Remember
- Medication forms should be turned in with any prescription or over the counter medication (students should not transport medications!)
- If your child has asthma or a life threatening allergy, please have an asthma action plan filled out or a food allergy action plan.
- Students may not carry any type of medication with them (except inhalers or epi-pens), If a student needs to have medication during school hours, it must be brought in by an adult with appropriate paperwork!
- Please keep your child home with any vomiting, diarrhea or fevers 100 degrees or higher
- IMMMUNIZATIONS: If students are not up to date on vaccines or do not have appropriate documentation of exemption or catch up schedule, the student will be exempt from school after 5 days . If you have questions or concerns please contact me for further information.
