EXPIRING NARCAN/NALOXONE
Some of the original Narcan/Naloxone we received are expiring in October. Can you please check yours and update the AED Master Spreadsheet. If you scroll to the right side, you can enter expiration dates. Email Michelle if your school will need more Narcan/Naloxone once your supply expires in October. We received extra last year so most schools should have plenty.
The FDA extended the expiration date for Naloxone Nasal Spray from 3 years to 4 years on products manufactured after 1/17/24. It does not extend the products manufactured prior to that date. Follow the expiration date that is on the box. For more info.
OHA/ODE COMMUNICABLE DISEASE UPDATES FOR VOMITING AND DIARRHEA
OHA / ODE has changed the Communicable Disease Guidance for Schools guidelines this year for students returning after having vomiting or diarrhea. They may now return to school after 24hrs of no vomiting or no diarrhea (this replaces the previous 48hr guideline)
Here is the link to the full Communicable Disease Guidance packet:

PPE ORDER FORM
Please make sure you are using this PPE Order form for ordering supplies. It was recently updated so distribution could read the requests more easily. If you ordered something that has not come in, it may have been on the old form so just resubmit it.
ORANGE FIRST AID KIT GUIDELINE
Oliver has created a guide to help staff and nurses maintain the orange first aid kit that sits in the front office. It even has some suggested links for replenishing supplies if needed. We found some lidocaine burn gel packs that were expired in some of the kits. If you find that in yours, please dispose of it. Orange First Aid Kit Guidelines
HEAD LICE
The Bend La Pine school district policy on head lice remains as follows: for any students found to have live lice while at school, they will be sent home and may return once they have received treatment. This policy was recently reviewed and the decision was made to continue with it. Please see the full head lice procedure here.
Each elementary school will be receiving one box of Nix lice treatment for any family that may need help obtaining it.
Have a great week everyone!!
