Greetings From The Health Room
Dear Parent/Guardian:
We are looking forward to another school year. This year our health room is staffed by Kristin Meinberg (RN) and Brittany Giles (HRT).
As the registered nurse for
Green Valley Elementary,
I want to take this opportunity to introduce myself. I am employed by the Frederick County Health Department, School Health Program. I am also the Registered Nurse (RN) at
Spring Ridge Elementary School.
My responsibilities include health assessments, health counseling, communicable disease prevention, crisis intervention, health education, and referrals for health needs. I work closely with school administration, faculty, medical providers, and parents/guardians to develop plans of care for students with medical needs. I am responsible for ensuring that medications and treatments can be safely administered during the school day.
Your child’s health room is staffed by a health room technician (HRT). The HRT is a Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) and Certified Medication Technician (CMT) who is trained in first aid and CPR. The health room technician works under my supervision. I delegate nursing tasks such as medication administration in accordance with the Maryland Nurse Practice Act.
If your child requires medication or medical treatment during the school day, his/her Health Care Provider must complete the appropriate forms. These forms may be obtained from the health room and at
www.fcps.org
The health room is available from 8:30 am to 3:00 pm prior to the first day of school to accept medications, answer questions, and provide forms. Appointments are encouraged.
If you have any questions or concerns about the health care of your child, please contact me at
Kristin.Meinberg@fcps.org
. I look forward to meeting you and wish you and your child a healthy and successful school year.
