Update on Health Issues
In September of 2008 this site noted that an issue that needed to be revisited at the beginning of a new school year was the information about MRSA. This page was created in September and guidelines were posted from last year and once again highlighted concerning safety guidelines in our schools to prevent MRSA and other infectious diseases. Special MRSA instructions from the Athletic Office were also posted.
RCSD Health UPDATE: On Tuesday, October 7, the Riverhead Central School District received notification that a student at the high school had been diagnosed at a local emergency room with a MRSA staph infection. However, upon further testing and examination by the student’s private physician, the diagnosis of MRSA was found to be INCORRECT and the student did not have a MRSA staph infection.
The district is continuing its efforts to be proactive in dealing with this health concern. Administrators, school nurses, the director of facilities and the athletic director have been conducting preventative efforts and cleaning protocols. Please be assured that we are doing everything possible to maintain a safe school environment through education and the promotion of hygienic protocols. See "Updates on MRSA" (posted 9/22/08)

Nurses Station
Elizabeth Chappell, the Director of Pupil Personnel, and school nurse Karen Mickaliger gave a presentation at the September 23 School Board Meeting on school health issues (i.e., sports physicals, MRSA, etc.).
We will also be checking into whether or not the forms for the school physical for the lower grades can be posted online. The high school physical form is a tri-part form and cannot be posted.
If you have any questions please contact your school nurse. They are listed in the directory for each of the schools in the district. See Our Schools and School Information on each of the school sites. |
