WELCOME, NURSE ASHLEY!

Hello, I'm Nurse Ashley, and I am so excited to be a part of the
Coy Elementary family and your new nurse! It is going to be an
exciting year and I can't wait to see what fun adventures are in
store for us here at Coy! A little bit ABOUT Me: I have been a
nurse for 12 years now and truly love caring for and helping
people of all ages, but especially kiddos! Over the past 12 years I
have worked for Mercy Health Systems and Scotland Healthcare
System in Laurinburg, North Carolina.

My husband, Louie, and I have been married for 10 years and live in Williston along with our
three boys, Jericho, Sebastian and Micah. We also have two dogs that we have adopted, Gabby
a Boxer/Staffordshire Terrier Mix and Griffin a Bull Mastiff/American Bully Mix. In my free time
I coach Freshman Girls Basketball at Clay, enjoy watching movies, going to University of
Michigan Football Games, shopping, building small furniture and crafting, and hanging out with
my family and friends!

I am looking forward to meeting each and everyone of you, this school year!

Notes from the Nurse:

    Please make sure to reference your student handbook regarding any and all illness
    guidelines and protocols. We are now back to following the Student handbook policies
    and protocols. Please reach out to me here at the school or through email regarding any
    COVID related questions/concerns or positive testing results.

    Please make sure that your students grades K-4th grade are up-to-date with all Vaccine
    and Health Physical requirements for this upcoming school year. If you have any
    questions please reference the Coy Elementary Student Handbook, for vaccine exclusion
    information please contact my office.

    Students grades, K, 1st, 3rd and New Students to the district will have Vision and Hearing
    Screenings during the beginning of this school year.

    If your student requires any prescription medications to be administered during school
    hours please make sure to have your son/daughter's physician complete a Oregon City
    School Request for Prescription Medication Administration form. Forms can be found on
    the Oregon City School District Website or in the Coy Elementary School office. Make
    sure the completed form and prescription medication is brought into the school nurse,
    prior to administration.

    If your student requires any non-prescription medications to be administered during
    school hours please make sure the parent/guardian completes an Oregon City School
    Non-Prescription medication Administration form. Form can be found on the Oregon City
    School District Website or in the Coy Elementary School office. Make sure the completed
    form and non-prescription medication is brought into the school nurse prior to
    administration.

Continue to encourage all students to continue with good hand hygiene at school and at
    home to help reduce the spread of germs.

    If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to reach out to me during school
    hours via phone or by email. I will be able to access email during non-office hours and will
    address any emergent matters as needed.

I look forward to a Safe and Health School Year!!
