Welcome to the Mississinawa Valley Local
School Nurse's News page. This page will be maintained by the school nurse, and used
to provide important health related information and forms.

services to the students and staff of Mississinawa Valley Schools.

Administers first aid and emergency treatment as
needed.

medications.

Important to know:
Students going into 12th grade
need to receive the meningococcal vaccine. Students going into 7th grade
need both the meningococcal and Tdap vaccine. KG students must have a current
physical along with their required vaccinations. Ohio law mandates that
students be excluded from school if documentation of immunizations is not
received by the 14th day of school, therefore it is very important that the
paperwork does get turned by the 1st day of school.
Students requiring prescription medication use
while at school must have the Prescribed Medication Administration Form signed
by the student’s physician and turned in to the school nurse prior to being
administered at school.
Students requiring over the counter medication
use at school must have an Over the Counter Medication Permission
Form signed by the parent and turned in to the school nurse prior to
being administered at school.
Parents/guardians should notify the school nurse
of a student’s medical condition (i.e. asthma, allergies, seizure
disorders, bleeding disorders, diabetes, etc.) so the proper paperwork
can be completed. Diagnosis specific Health Care Plan Forms are
available to ensure that the student is treated appropriately in the event of
an emergency.
Forms can be printed directly from this page
or picked up in the school nurse clinic.
If you have any questions or concerns please can contact Jamie Wisner, RN.
