Pink Eye at SACS:
Over the past couple of weeks we have had several cases of conjunctivitis ("pink eye") here at SACS. These cases have been scattered throughout the building.
Pink eye is highly contagious, and symptoms often include a pink/red color to the white part of the eye, crusting and drainage, and itching and burning. It usually begins in one eye and can spread rapidly to the other eye. Treatment often involves the use of ointment or drops. Proper handwashing, disinfection of commonly used surfaces (doorknobs, faucet handles, toilet handles, remote control, etc.) and completing the course of treatment are the best ways to prevent the spread of pink eye.
Should your child have pink/red eye(s), crusting or drainage and complain of itching or burning, please keep your child home (to prevent possible spread) and consult your medical provider for proper diagnosis and treatment. Your child must be on treatment for 48 hours before he/she can return to school if diagnosed with pink eye. Thank you.

Note From the Nurse:
Beginning Friday, October 30th, Southern Aroostook Community School's Health Services Department will be hosting a nursing student from NMCC's Nursing Department for a few days in October/November.
This community placement will provide school-based clinical experience as the senior-level nursing student learns about the roles and responsibilities of the school nurse, as well as how the nursing process is put into practice in the holistic care of children at different age levels.
The nursing student will practice under the direct supervision of School Nurse Kathy Chamberland, R.N., B.S.N. and will be allowed to observe and participate in the many aspects of school nursing such as preventive care, emergent care, assessment, documentation, medication administration, on-site programming, and so on.
This senior-level student has had many hours of clinical training and experience and is bound by the HIPPA Act and must comply with all laws of patient confidentiality. This experience serves as an opportunity for the nursing student to gain an understanding of the many and varied roles of a School Nurse.
