Welcome to the Saint
Vincent Martyr School Online Health Office!
My
office is a busy place; available to meet the health needs
of all children, including pre-school. I am at SVMS everyday
from 9:30 until 2:30. Consistent care and a high level of
comfort, regarding health issues are critical with young
children. I am proud to say this is one of the top
priorities of my office.
Routine
screenings, such as eye examinations and hearing exams are
completed on all children. Height, weight and body mass
index screenings are also performed. Nutritional counseling
is available when necessary.
A child
with special medical needs will receive individual care,
including children with allergies. Parent support groups for
families with peanut allergies meet throughout the year to
offer support and share ideas.
Physical
exams are to be completed by your physician. These exams are
required for all new students, as well as kindergarten
students, third graders and sixth graders. Please return the
physical forms to the health office before school starts.
If your
child requires medication during the school day, your
physician must complete an order form for the medication.
Even over the counter medication such as Tylenol, requires
an order before I may administer it.
I look
forward to working together with you and your children.
Please feel free to contact me with any concerns or
questions you may have at extension #204.
