NURSING/HEALTH OFFICE

Welcome Parents,

The school nurse position at SMS is shared by two RN's - Linda Berard and Danielle Jusseaume. Please feel free to contact us anytime with any questions or concerns you have about your child. You will find our contact information below. To ensure that you receive a timely response when emailing us, please email both of us. Our email addresses are below.

Just a couple of quick reminders:

Emergency contact information should be kept up to date. You will be given instructions that allow you to enter information via the Power School Parent portal. Please include all pertinent numbers for yourself, your spouse or significant other, as well as email addresses. This also applies for people you designate to pick up your child in your absence. Please ensure you have informed them that they have been listed as an emergency contact.
If your child has an extended absence due to injury or illness, please notify us. We will verify the absences and assist you with the process for support and/or homework.
Under no circumstances should medicine, other than Epipens and inhalers (after consultation with the nurse), ever be transported on the bus, or brought into school by a student. Parents must bring any/all medication to the school nurse.
NEW IN 2020 and going forward: In order to comply with the MA School Immunization Requirements, all students entering 7th grade must have a documented Meningitis vaccine (Menactra/Menveo) and Tetanus booster vaccine (Tdap) on file at school. If your child is entering 7th grade, please ask your primary care provider for this documentation and forward it to us at school as soon as possible.

Below you will find information and printable forms along with a link to the Nursing Department's main webpage that may be useful. I hope that you will check back often for updated health and safety information.
