School Nurse
Nurse Susie, the school nurse, is at Greenwood all day on Monday.
On other days Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Daley will help students with
first aid and health needs.
Students who need to take any prescription or over-the-counter medications
while at school must have an authorization form on file in the office.
The most potent medicines that can be administered without this
form are Band-Aids and ice packs and warm water bottles. Please
note that Mrs. Kelly and Mrs. Daley cannot administer medication
in eyes, ears, or on the skin (topical). They can only administer
oral medication with doctor’s orders.
The nurse carries out various health screenings during the course
of the year. If you suspect that your child might need hearing or
sight tests, the nurse can assist you. Her voicemail number is 252-1407.

related to basic needs, and school district and community programs.
She offers direct assistance with clothing for school children (including
shoes), school supplies, and sometimes can assist directly with
other needs. Ms. Greenstein’s voicemail is 252-1406.
