Hello! My name is Jessica Hager and I am the School Nurse and 504 Coordinator for Cadott Community

Schools. I am entering my 6 th year as the school nurse. I love our community and all of the students I get

to work with! It is my job to help take care of and advocate for children’s physical and mental health.

I have four children that attend the Cadott Schools ranging from 4K to 7 th grade. We love attending

Cadott Sporting events, playing sports, going for walks, swimming, boating and reading. I also enjoy the

occasional nap! I always tell kids it is important to get enough sleep!

I am so excited to see all of you September 1 st for our 1 st Day of School! I know that this year will look a

little different than it has in past years. We may be wearing masks during certain times, we may be

playing in different areas of the playground, we may get to eat lunch in the gym or our classroom and

you will hear A LOT about handwashing and ways we can stay healthy.

It is my belief that we need to take care of the whole child. Which means I care about their physical and

mental health. I want to encourage them to make healthy choices (Physical activity, healthy eating, hand

washing, not touching our face (eyes, nose and mouth). I also know that EVERY child is different. I

believe firmly that what works for one child may not work for another and we need to make sure that

we provide care for that child as an individual.

I want families to be aware that they can come to me if there are health concerns about their child. I will

advocate for your children so that they have what they need to be healthy in school. I love the saying

“Healthy Children Learn Better”.

I will be sharing a lot of information and resources as we start school, but I would say the number one

take home message I would like every family to get is that we should not be sending our students to

school if they are not feeling well. We will be asking families to check their kids before they go to school.
