Field Trip Reminder<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To prioritize student safety, please notify the school nurse about any upcoming field trips at least two weeks<\/u><\/strong> in advance. Last-minute notices can create safety concerns and may interfere with the care of other students, as the nurse needs time to review health conditions and medications. This applies to both middle and high school students. There have been instances where a nurse only learns of a field trip when an announcement is made over the school intercom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
