Welcome to the health site at Mount Pleasant Elementary School

All new students must meet the immunization requirement for entrance to the Nashua Schools; a current physical is also requested. If medication is to be administered, the nurse must have a doctors order, the medication in the pharmacy bottle with the child’s name on it , and the parent must sign a form telling the district the nurse now has  the authority to dispense this medication. These forms are to be updated yearly.

 Lice checks are done:
-as requested by parents.
-generally done monthly.

Eye exams are done on all students yearly and notices are mailed home to the parents of children needing more evaluation.

Scoliosis screening is done for all grade 5 students. The parent may choose to have their child screened at his/her doctor’s office; a notice will be sent home and if the child is NOT to be screened , then this form is to be returned to the nurse.

To provide a healthy, active environment, we encourage students to bring a healthy snack with water or fruit juice, engage actively in recess, gym and after school/home activities. When we teach healthy choices of food, balanced with an active lifestyle this forms an attitude for life. Children are then able to participate and feel successful in many varied activities. Children should have breakfast before school daily.

We ask that all students wear sneakers with socks every day. In the warmer weather, children can wear flat, closed toe sandals. No flip-flops please: we have had numerous foot injuries with these.

If there are any changes in your child’s status please inform the nurse.
