A Note from MESD Interim Superintendent Scott Perry on National School Nurse Appreciation Day5/11/2016 Dear MESD community,
Each day in school buildings across the metro area, registered nurses promote wellness and ensure that the health needs of students are safely met in our schools. Increasingly, children today face more complex and life-threatening health problems that require care in school. The care nurses provide includes providing case management to students with diabetes, serious allergies, asthma, ADHD and other chronic health conditions, training, health education, responding to illness and injuries, tracking student immunization records. Highly skilled clinical nurses also provide one-on-one care for medically fragile students who would not be able to attend school or be in community with their peers without a highly skilled nurse Over the past couple of months I have had the opportunity to see some of our remarkable nurses in action as they care for students and support them in school. During recent school visits I have observed nurses supporting school wellness activities, participating in school committees focused on on emergency planning and preparedness, and providing care protocols to allow a family to provide homemade meals for their feeding-tube dependent child. The care, compassion, and skill that our nurses devote to children is so appreciated. May 11 is National School Nurse Day and our nurses deserve our gratitude for their service to our children, their future, and our community. I invite the community to join me in extending our appreciation to our nurses for their dedication to our community’s future. No other occupation is as influential to the health of our young people. We are fortunate that the districts and schools in our community have professional nurses dedicated to benefitting students, not just on this National School Nurse Day, but throughout the year. Sincerely, Scott Perry Superintendent, Multnomah ESD
