WELCOME to the St. Jude School Nurse Website!
 

The school nurses want to take this opportunity to welcome you and your children back to St. Jude School. The nursing staff at St. Jude is looking forward to working with you to support the children so they are safe, healthy, and ready to learn.  

Please ensure that your child gets plenty of rest and eats a healthy breakfast before coming to school. It is also essential to encourage plenty of physical activity. We hope you find the following information helpful.

General Information


          So that we can best support your children while in school, please notify the school nurse at 215-822-9225, ext. 241 if your child develops a contagious illness that could impact the St. Jude school community. Examples include: Chicken Pox, Fifths disease, Impetigo, Strep Throat, etc.

          Changes in your child’s health status impact your child’s school day. By communicating pertinent health information to the school nurse, we can better care for your child’s needs. Concussions, surgeries, fractures, sprains, emotional wellness issues, acute or chronic illnesses are some examples of concerns to share with the school nurse.

          Please feel free to contact the school nurse by e-mail with any questions or concerns about your child's health at nurse@stjudeschool.com.

          **Please note that a physician order is necessary for any medication given to your child. Also, if any treatment such as crutches, wheelchair use, or special medical treatment is needed during the school day, a physician order is required.
