The first recollection many
people have of their school
nurse involves lining up in
the hall for a health screen-
ing. Students in Kings
Mountain
District
Schools still
line-up for
vision and
dental screen-
ings, but there
is more going
on in school
health than
just routine screenings.
Maintaining the health
and safety of hundreds of
students is a big job for any
individual. One of the
school nurse’s primary con-
cerns is to reduce absen-
teeism. Cominunicable dis-
ease translates into a num- +
ber of absences. I feel that I
am ideally situated to limit
the spread of communicable
diseases through two impor-
tant methods.

nurses can take to fight

vaccines protect from such

responsible for reviewing
student health information,
which must include an
immunization record with
appropriate shots as

Hepatitis B vaccines have
been made available to 6th
graders for several years.
Many students have already
had the series of Hepatitis B

Vaccination to protect

position to educate, inform
and reassure parents and
children about the safety of
vaccines. Immunization
rates remain high.
Since hands remain the
primary mode of transmis-
sion between organisms in
the environment and their
human host, another proven
method of reducing the inci-
dence of infectious disease is
proper hand washing with
soap and water and water-
less gels or wipes. Most
viruses, bacteria and fungi
are easily destroyed and
washed away with disinfec-
tant cleansers and regular
hand washing.
Observing the classrooms
have helped me see that our
educators make a conscien-
tious effort ahslesning.-
school surfaces, washing
hands and the use of anti-
septic wipes and gels when
no water is available. Most
teachers acknowledge the
importance of good hand
washing, even if they cringe
at asking a class of rambunc-
tious youngsters to wash
before lunch, after lunch,
and after recess. It is also
important to emphasize to
parents that hand washing is
the single most important
step to prevent the spread of
infectious disease in the
home.
Infectious diseases are
widespread in schools and
responsible for thousands of
lost school days every year
resulting in serious disrup-
tion of the learning process.
Infectious disease also
brings with it a variety of
costs, including medical
treatment, medicines, and
loss of productivity of par-
ents who may need to stay
home with a sick child.
Infectious disease not only
affects students and parents,
but educators and staff who
are also exposed to the same
illnesses. Schools spend pre-
cious administrative hours
tracking absent students
because attendance has

Preventing illness-related *
absenteeism is a central
issue in education. Focusing
on preventive health and
breaking the chain of infec-
tion will reduce the inci-
dence of illness and schools
can reduce absenteeism and
disruption of the education
process associated with it.
Keeping school children and
staff healthy and attendance
high is of the highest of pri-
orities for the school nurse.
