It has been a very busy year in the Health Office with additional students, the H1N1 virus and subsequent clinics for vaccines, the stomach virus, strep throat, the injuries on the playground, and the day to day management of the Health Office. I’d like to thank all my parent volunteers for assisting me when I needed help, especially at the clinics.

      Parents please remember that Coventry Schools has adopted the new Wellness Plan for all schools and sending in snacks with your child should be on the approved foods list- this can be found at www.kidsnet.ri.org.

      I will be sending dental cards home in the report cards—the school dentist visits us usually in February, and the yellow dental cards/notes from your dentist are due every year. Your child will not see the school dentist if I have one of these dated February 2010 or later. I will be available here at school the week before school officially begins, working on health records and getting my office organized, in case you have any questions/concerns. I can also be reached over the summer at hennessydenise@coventryschools.net. I hope everyone has a wonderful summer and I’ll See You In September!
