Dear parents of Newton students,
I am the campus nurse at Hui Xin and my name is Anna. I have been working here since we opened, October last year and many of you know me already! I have appreciated the cooperation with parents last year and hope to continue the good relationship throughout the school year of 2015/2016.
One of my regular responsibilities when I arrive at work is to check the air quality information, called AQI and post a screen on the TV at the entrance which informs both teachers and parents whether we will be inside/outside, limit outside play and close/open windows with air-purifiers on/off.
At 8:00 - 9:00 I check every child, their hands, their throat and look for common symptoms of contagious illness' such as red blisters, pink eye etc. If a child looks dizzy I might lay my hand on their head to briefly check their temperature.
After 9:00 I go to classes to check hygiene and kids well-being. Teachers call me to check for temperatures and mend bruises, bumps or scrapes that might occur. I also work with the campus chef to put together a nutrient rich diet for our children, divided by two menu's for pn/n and k1/k2 which are found on our website every month. Further, for those of you who arrive late after 9:00 you will have to wait at the entrance, until I am available to check your child and provide you with a "health clearance" tag that allows your child to go to class. It is inconvenient so please arrive before 9:00.
In case of a contagious illness all parents should inform teachers or call me directly as soon as possible. Upon returning from absence due to a contagious illness, you must acquire a letter from your child's physician, clearing them to go to school. This letter must be submitted to me the first day back.
For further information, please look on the information section online or the "communication book guide" in your child's book.
Sincerely,
Ms. Anna Hu
