Howard-Suamico School District Calendar Click here to view this At - A - Glance Calendar for 2014-2015 Meet the new School Nurse for the elementary schools in Howard-Suamico - Hilary WiedHi! My name is Hilary Wied and I graduated from Carroll University with my Bachelors of Science in Nursing. After nursing school, I worked as a pediatric nurse at the Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin in Milwaukee caring for patients of varying ages and illnesses. My husband and I have recently moved back to the Green Bay area to be closer to family – as I was a Bay Port grad and there is no better place to live than Howard-Suamico! In my free time, I have started taking graduate school classes in Biosecurity, Disaster Preparedness and Infection Control. I also love hanging out with my adorable and sassy puppy named Benji, running, reading, and traveling with my husband. Bay Harbor will be one of the schools I will be working with, overseeing medical care of acute and chronic health needs, as well as getting into the classroom to do education on hygiene and other health topics! I can be reached at 920-662-7946 or via email at [email protected].

Respiratory Virus Click here for information information about the respiratory virus that has recently sickened school age children. The take home message is encourage good hand washing throughout the day as well as cough etiquette where children cough into their sleeve, and sick students need to stay home. This virus has especially hit kids hard who have asthma or are immune suppressed.

The Brown County Health Department staff will be coming to Bay Harbor Elementary to provide Hearing and Vision Screenings for the designated grades and other requested students. The Hearing Screening will occur on Monday, October 13, 2014. All 5K and 1st graders, any new students to the district, and any students requested by teachers or parents/guardians will be tested. If your child does not pass the initial hearing screening, a rescreen will be performed in four to six weeks to determine if there is a persistent hearing problem. If they still do not pass, a letter will be sent home indicating the importance of following up with a physician and/or audiologist. The screening is not a substitute for a regular examination by your physician but is meant to identify persistent hearing loss in children and bring it to the attention of parents/guardians and teachers. IMPORTANT NOTE: If you DO NOT want your child screened for hearing and/or vision YOU MUST contact your child’s school at least one week prior to the screening date to have your child removed from the screening list. One more volunteer is needed for our upcoming Vision Screening on Thursday, November 13th from approximately 8:30 until 10:30.
If you would be able to volunteer your time in the morning please call the Bay Harbor Office at 662-8802. Thank you. Community Corner
