The Atlantis Charter School nurses are essential and valued members of our educational team. They provide students with accessible health services while promoting lifelong healthy habits. With specialized training in health assessment and wellness, our school nurses skillfully address the evolving healthcare needs of our students and ensure they receive the support and referrals necessary for their well-being and success in the classroom.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION TO SHARE WITH OUR SCHOOL NURSES

Our Atlantis Charter School nurses are always available to support the health and well-being of our students. Open communication between parents/guardians and school nurses is key to ensuring the best possible care for every child. We encourage you to reach out with any health concerns or questions.

Please be sure to contact the school nurse if your child:

  • Has received a new medical diagnosis.
  • Has been hospitalized.
  • Has been treated for an infectious disease.
  • Has been started on a new medication.
  • Has an allergy to food or medication, or has developed a new allergy.
  • Has incurred a recent injury that requires accommodations for gym, transportation, etc.
  • Has been or may be absent for an extended period of time.
  • Has no health insurance and you need help with obtaining health insurance.

When To Keep Your Child Home From School

  • If your child has a contagious disease
  • If your child has an antibiotic prescribed, for at least 24 hours from the first dose of the medication
  • If your child has had a fever over 100.0 within the past 24 hours
  • If your child has a draining skin sore, eye, or ear
  • If your child has a suspicious rash that needs to be seen by a physician
  • If your child has an upset stomach, vomiting or diarrhea within the past 24 hours

Absence-Notification

On the day a student is absent, it is the responsibility of a parent or guardian to telephone your child’s school within the first 90 minutes of the school day to give a valid reason for the absence.
