MEET MRS. SCURRY

I am Cynthia Scurry, the School Nurse at Kemp Elementary School. It is my pleasure to take care of the students, and staff of this wonderful school. I have been a Registered Nurse for over 20 years, and have a wide range of clinical experience. Feel free to contact me at any time for questions or concerns.

CLINIC HOURS: M-F 8:15AM - 2:45PM

Telephone: 678-594-8158 Ext. 222

I provide limited basic care to children who may be sick or injured, assist in administering appropriate medications, and treatments. I do not make diagnosis, as I am not a physician. The care provided is according to the guidelines outlined by the School Health Service program for Cobb County Schools.

MEDICATION POLICY

This is the medication policy for Cobb County Schools, please review the policy. All medication administered is according to this policy.

IS YOUR CHILD TOO SICK FOR SCHOOL?

Attendance Guidelines For Illness

Please do not send your child to school if any of
these symptoms or signs present in the previous 24
hours:

· Elevated temperature (100º or greater)

· Acute cold, sore throat or persistent cough

· Vomiting, nausea or abdominal pain

· Repeated diarrhea

· Purulent discharge (anything other than clear discharge) from the nose or eyes resulting from a contagious condition

· Red, inflamed or discharging eyes (conjunctivitis)

· Suspected scabies, impetigo, acute skin rashes or eruptions, any skin lesion in the weeping stage, head lice or any other infectious childhood condition

There will be times when it is too difficult to tell when your child is too ill to go to school. Sometimes there is worry that he or she will miss important schoolwork, or perfect attendance. Like adults, children have different tolerances for discomfort and illness. Even with the common cold, some are able to function fine while others are miserable. If your child is coughing continuously, he or she won’t be able to concentrate and will disrupt, and possibly expose others in the class.
