News from the Nurse
My name is Rachel Cruz and I am the school nurse at Matunuck School. The health and well being of your child is very important to me. I will be conducting vision, hearing and dental screenings throughout the year. I will be notifying you in advance of screening dates. Health updates will be sent with the Friday Folder or in an email Skylert message.
Medications at school:
All medications prescription and including non-prescription, over-the-counter medications (cough drops, tylenol, allergy medications and lotions) require a parent signature and a doctor's signature per the SKSD policy. See policy and form by clicking links:
All prescription and over-the-counter medications are kept in the nurse’s office. Students should not carry medications to school or in school.
Hearing Screening: Date: 4/25/25
The hearing screening will take place on Friday, 4/25/25.
Hearing is an important piece to your child's ability to learn. According to the Rhode Island Rules and Regulations for School Health Programs (R16-21-SCHO) , hearing screening is mandated for grades Kindergarten, one, two and three. The RI School for the Deaf provides a hearing screening at Matunuck school. If your child does not pass the screening, a referral letter will be mailed to you.
If you have any questions or concerns please contact me at 360-1259.
Thank you,
Rachel Cruz
