Notes from the Nurse No Food in the Halls or Classrooms It has always been policy at HCSS that no food is allowed in the hallways or classrooms. We have staff and students with severe airborne food allergies. The only exceptions are lesson related and with Nurse’s and Admins approval. Any students found with food in the hallways or classrooms will have food confiscated and will receive Disciplinary points.
Lost and found The lost and found closet located outside of the Nurse’s office has become quite full. Please retrieve any items that belong to you. At the end of the quarter, all remaining items will be donated to charity. Please do not take any items that do not belong to you.
Cold and Flu Season We have entered the cold and flu season. Please make sure to get plenty of rest, take your vitamins, drink plenty of healthy fluids, eat a healthy/well balanced diet, and WASH YOUR HANDS OFTEN! It is best to cover your coughs and sneezes with tissue, or your inner elbow. And again…Wash your hands! ~Nurse Gemme
