A Note from the Clinic
Ticks:
There is certainly nothing to complain about after the
mild winter
we've had but one thing is; we've seen
more ticks
. The Delaware County General Health District has great information about the health risks and proper removal of ticks that become embedded into the skin. For more information visit:
http://www.delawarehealth.org/content.cfm?article=ticks.
Sun and Heat and Asthma:
End of year activities often move students from the classroom into the outdoors. Please remember to dress your student to cover the shoulders, apply sunscreen to skin that is exposed and send a water bottle to keep your student hydrated. In addition, elevated pollen counts, humidity and exercise can all trigger asthma symptoms. If your child uses a rescue inhaler, make sure that the inhaler is available during school hours as needed. Talk to your school nurse about an asthma plan as needed for your student. Nationwide Children's Hospital has a School Based Asthma Program that provides prevention inhalers for daily use and rescue inhalers (albuterol) by mail to the school and home. Contact your school nurse for more information or visit
http://www.nationwidechildrens.org/asthma-therapy-program
.
Medication End of Year Collection:
All medication provided to the school must be picked up by an adult by
June 1st
. Any medication not picked up, will be disposed of through Delaware City Police School Resource Officers.
Planning for the new school year starts now:
If your student has a health concern that requires school accommodations, planning for the new year starts now. Asthma, food allergies, seizures, migraines and diabetes are the primary health concerns that require planning, but any concern you have can be addressed by your school nurse. Make your appointment with your medical professional to have medication orders completed prior to the student's return to school August 16th.
Vision Exams: E
ye exams for children are extremely important, because 5 to 10 percent of preschoolers and 25 percent of school-aged children have vision problems. Summer is a great time to have a well child check of your student's vision by an eye doctor.
The Lion's Club sponsors free eye care to adults and children through the Grace Family Health Clinic or People In Need.
Summer Immunizations and Sports Physicals: I
f your child will play a school sponsored sport this year, scheduling your appointment with your physician early will decrease the stress of starting the school year. Hometown Urgent Care offers a free sports physical event each summer; follow them online for the date!
Moving up a grade may be a shot in the arm!
7th grade students are required to have both a Tdap
and
meningitis vaccines and 12th grade students are required to have 2 meningitis vaccines. Your physician or the Delaware General Health District will provide a record to turn into your school when school opens in August.
Summer Hot Lunch Program Returns May 30 - Aug. 11th12 - 1 PM
: The free summer lunch program is
moving to 2nd Ward Community Initiative, 54 Ross Street
(behind Woodward), hot meals are available Monday through Friday to children 18 years of age and younger and the adults who accompany them. This year there will be daily raffle drawings and activities for the kids!
