They never say why, but it's a fact of life in our building. For all you know, a kid is getting called to the office for a good reason (like Dad just got back from Afghanistan and here to surprise his son). Or they're called to the office for a meeting about the basketball team. Or any number of things. Not a parent complaint to be found. Then again, we don't have the most involved parents.Mrs. Bluebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283080212189118357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15193762.post-55118918175523504682011-09-16T23:08:45.068-05:002011-09-16T23:08:45.068-05:00Wow - that seems like a big breach of student priv...Wow - that seems like a big breach of student privacy on the part of The Enforcer.

We have about 900 students, and today at our staff meeting, our principal told us that about 350 students still needed to turn in their immunization paperwork.<br /><br />Same thing: Since before school started, there have been ConnectEd calls, marquee warnings, letters home, the whole 9 yards.<br /><br />It's so disheartening how irresponsible many of these parents are.W.R.

This year we didn't get a nurse hired until last week. Made all the difference in the world. Still, why do parents have to be hounded about this so?Mrs. Bluebirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10283080212189118357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15193762.post-158973412688670452011-09-13T04:52:50.497-05:002011-09-13T04:52:50.497-05:00I was amazed that only 4 of our kids don't hav...I was amazed that only 4 of our kids don't have immunizations (out of 600 or so). 3 can't have one or more for valid scientific reasons (chemo, immune suppressed) 1 is an opt out.<br /><br />We are lucky that parents can ask our nurse to send kids to a clinic run on the grounds of the high school to get minor medical care including immunizations. A bus picks them up and takes them to the clinic. They are seen by a pediatric nurse practitioner. They even get free meds if they need them.kherberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03282935413300573346noreply@blogger.com
