I remember a few years ago it was a necessity to keep a hiv aids prevention kit in all teachers and counselor’s desks. Gloves, mask, sterile wipes and the like. Perhaps something like that could be possible and even think
about getting health providers involved because there could be some expense to it. Go on line and research how to make a first aid kit. State department should have some information as well.😊
(Lisa has sent an email to SDE asking for any information, waiting on a response)


Happy end of the year all!!

Today we had an open wound injury to a student..(nothing major).. however, as i was trying to do some basic wound care (we do not have a school nurse)...I realized how unequipped our "first aid kit" is.

As I started making a list of things we need to purchase, the question came to mind if there are limitations or guidelines we have to follow for a school kit???

Any suggestions?

Thank you!
