Nurse Corner

Thank you to all of the families who have been following our school health protocols regarding when to keep students home from school. Your cooperation helps keep our school community healthy. Please do not hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about our policies.

Below are a few important reminders from the Nurse’s Office:

  1. Change of Clothes
    Please continue to send a change of clothes for your child. During this season, students may experience falls, spills, or other accidents. Having extra clothing available ensures students remain comfortable in clean, dry clothes throughout the school day.
  2. Pre-K Physicals
    For Pre-K students, please continue to send updated physicals from your pediatrician as they become available. Yearly physicals are required for all Pre-K students and for students entering Kindergarten.
  3. Hearing Rescreens
    We will be conducting hearing rescreens for students who may need them. If your child does not pass the hearing exam after two attempts, a referral will be sent home as needed.

If you have any questions or concerns regarding this information, please feel free to contact the Nurse’s Office at ces-nurses@colchesterct.org or 860-537-0717 x2.

Thank you for your continued support,
CES Nurse’s Office
