November 10, 2026
This year the nurse’s office has gotten off to a great start. Our students have had some minor illnesses and allergy related issues. We held our annual flu clinic in both Marshall and the High school in October. We appreciate the health department coming and doing this for our school as a way to help prevent the flu virus and illness in our school. The flu is a very contagious viral illness that causes symptoms such as fever, sore throat, body aches, fatigue and could progress to respiratory symptoms (cough and runny/stuffy noses). This can be mild to severe in some cases. As we look to the upcoming holidays, it is important to protect ourselves from the spread of illnesses. The number one thing people can do to help the spread is to wash their hands appropriately with soap and water under running water for at least 15-20 seconds, especially after using the bathroom or prior to eating. We can also make sure we are not sharing items such as drinking cups and covering our mouth/nose when coughing or sneezing (then washing hands). Looking to the new year, we will continue to perform hearing and vision screenings as indicated by state mandates. In January, we will be holding our annual dental screenings. This will be an OPT OUT screening. Paperwork will go home by mail with semester grade cards. Please return the form if you DO NOT want your child screened. This screening is just a brief look at the oral cavity to find any issues. This will be completed by a dental hygienist from Care Arc out of Emporia. No dental work will be performed at this screening. We, in the health office, wish all of you a wonderful holiday season.
