Welcome to the 2025-26 School Year at Alderman Elementary!! We are so excited to see all the smiling faces back in our school. I am the school nurse here at Alderman, Kari Jacaruso. My office has moved- I am now next to Dr. Garcia's office. Please feel free to stop in and say hello, most importantly, let me know if your child has any health conditions or medications that I need to be aware of. My goal is to keep your children healthy and safe while at school.

Reminder: ALL medications to be given at school require a physician's authorization form prior to medication being given at school. Also, if your child has a food allergy, a physician diet order is required for nurse and cafeteria manager. All these forms are available in my office or I can email them to you. Let's make this the Best year.
