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.

Thunderkids Dental Clinic is offered at Matunuck School:

Thunderkids Dental program is a community dental program offered by Thundermist Health Center that provides dental services at school  for your child during the school day. An informational packet and application was sent to all students. Please fill out an application if you want your child to participate. Each child should have their own application and be renewed every year. If you need a packet/application please contact me or the office.

Medications at school:

All medications including 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:
