From the School Nurse:

My name is Kathleen Haynes. I am the School Nurse for Hillside Jr. High and Marian Pritchett School at Salvation Army Booth. Most of my time is spent at Hillside but on Wednesday mornings I am at Marian Pritchett. I have been a School Nurse for the Boise School District since 1994.

If your student needs to take medication at school or has any special health needs at school, please contact me.

Medication Policy: Authorization is required for any medication to be dispensed at school. Students are not allowed to keep medication in their lockers or backpacks. All medication must arrive in school in the original bottle with current directions for administration. Inhalers for students with asthma may be carried by the student when completed paperwork and an authorization form is on file.

A small supply of Acetaminophen and Ibuprofen is kept in my office. This will only be dispensed with permission over the phone on a one time basis. Any further doses require written authorization and the student will be asked to supply his own medication for more frequent needs.

PE: PE physicals are required for 7th grade students and 8th grade students who are new to the Boise District. Additional physicals are required in 9th and 11th grade for students who participate in school sports.

Puberty classes are taught each semester for students in 7th grade with boys and girls taught separately. Scoliosis Screening is completed in PE each semester for 7th grade girls and 8th grade boys.

Please notify the office if your phone numbers for contact change so that we can reach you quickly if the need arises.

Please feel free to contact me about any health concerns.

Thank you,
Kathleen Haynes, RN, BSN, NCSN
