Health Careers and Human Services Class has RN visit
|
Amanda David, RN, came to speak to Health Careers and Human Services students. At Children's Hospital of Wisconsin Mrs. David works as a float nurse. This means that every day is different. One hour she can work with infants and the next hour she may work with adolescents. She loves this variety, but says she must know more medically to cover all the ages.

Student Council Blood Drive Wednesday
|
Student Council held its final blood drive of the year on May 25th. This blood drive is especially timely as Southeastern Wisconsin is struggling with critically low levels of blood. Students who are 17 and older are invited to donate blood during the school day. Students who are 16 are allowed to donate with parent permission. Community members are always invited to donate at the HUHS drives.
At the May 25th blood drive, we were able to collect 97 pints of blood. Other fun facts from the day are:
- 65 repeat donors, 31 new donors, and 7 donors who hadn't donated in over 2 years
- 146 people came to donate and 46 were deferred
- 10 dual red donations (the machine sorts the whole blood into each blood component giving the donor back plasma, platelets, and white blood cells. Only the red blood cells are kept for the donation.)
Thank you to all who donated and made the drive a success!

Health Minute
Important Information from the Health Room
|
Parents, please mind your student(s) that they always need to come to the Health Room with any health concerns and to not call or text home. The Health Technician will always call the parent or emergency contact to arrange for the student to leave school when ill. If a student talks or texts their parent on their own cell phone and then they leave school without contacting a staff member and receiving a permit to leave, they are considered truant from school.
Reminder that each new school year requires a new Individualized Healthcare Plan for students who have health issues and for students who need Epi-Pens, inhalers, etc. Students can carry inhalers, but must have this signed form on file with the Health Office. These forms can be found on huhs.org, use the Services Tab, scroll to Health Services. The appropriate forms are located on the right side of the page. Any prescribed medications will need a parent and doctor's signature. Students can carry over-the-counter medications with parental approval if it is in the original bottle, with a signed note from the parent. The Health Office page also offers tips and guidelines for procedures in the Health Office to keep your child safe at school.
