School Nurse News

It will be more important than ever to make sure your contact information in PowerSchool is up to date. Please remember to update changes throughout the school year. A few things to keep in mind as we return to school:

• All parents are advised to screen their students BEFORE coming to school daily. If your student is sick keep them home and contact the school nurse. Please use the DHEC exclusion guidelines for screening your student on the chart listed above. Please note that SORE THROATS have been added to the chart. https://scdhec.gov/infectious-diseases/viruses/coronavirus-disease-2019-covid-19/schools-childcare-centers-covid-19
• SC DHEC guidelines and useful information can be found at www.scdhec.gov
• Health forms can be found on the HCS web page https://www.horrycountyschools.net/Page/997
• Please ensure the nurse has the most up to date immunization record for your child.
• It is recommended that you send an extra clean mask to school with your student daily in case the one they are wearing becomes soiled (ex. From sneezing)

As always, please contact the nurse for any health concerns for your child.
