Welcome to the Canyon Middle School Nurse's Page.  I am excited about working with the Jaguars this school year as your School Nurse. I am married and I have two children at Canyon High School.  I am an Aggie Class of '00 and in fourteen years of Nursing, I have worked in many different areas. Enough about me- please find TONS of helpful information below and contact me with any questions or concerns. I look forward to working with you to keep all Jaguars healthy and learning! 
School Policies and Important Reminders:
  • Students are not allowed to have prescription or non-prescription medications on school grounds without proper authorization. This is a safety issue. 
  •  All medications must be brought into the school by an adult in its original container or prescription bottle. For prescriptions, please ask your pharmacist to separate the prescription into two bottles, one for home and one for school. Non-prescription medications must be brought to school in its original container which lists the recommended dosage.
  • Parents must sign the Request to Administer Medication form for any medication to be kept in the clinic. Prescription AND over the counter medications need a physician’s signature in addition to the parent on the Request to Administer Medication form. 
  • If your child has been given the ability to self-administer their inhaler, please make sure to provide the Permit to Self Administer form signed by student, parent, and physician.
  • Students with a fever of 100.0 or higher will be sent home from school. ALL STUDENTS MUST BE FREE FROM FEVER FOR 24 HOURS WITHOUT MEDICATION (Tylenol, Motrin, etc.) BEFORE RETURNING TO SCHOOL. For example, If your child goes home with fever on Monday - do not send him/her to school on Tuesday as children's temps are generally low in the morning and rise throughout the day. If they are home without fever all day Tuesday without any fever altering medication, they may return to school Wednesday.
  • If your child feels ill, has a fever, diarrhea, or is vomiting, please keep them home from school. This will help prevent the spreading of an illness.
  • Children with bacterial infections like strep throat should be on an antibiotic for at least 24 hours before returning to school.
  • I require a parent or guardian’s CURRENT phone numbers AND an emergency contact number in case your child becomes injured or sick at school. Please update Skyward with any contact information changes.
