General Medical Information
If your student has a chronic health condition or you have specific questions or concerns, contact Lina Lam, BSN, RN, our school nurse for Oakley at 828-708-5328.
Wondering if your child is sick enough to stay home? School attendance is important, even if your child has a minor illness such as a cold or headache. However, please keep them at home as directed in our exclusion criteria if they have a more severe illness.
We encourage medications to be given at home if possible. However, if your child needs prescription or over-the-counter medications administered during the school day, a medication administration form must be completed by your child's doctor and medications must be checked in at the school office.
Medication Administration Information
Families should complete forms, get medical provider signatures as indicated, and return to OES School Nurse.
