Student Health
We take student health seriously.
We are blessed to have Lisa Crabb as our middle/high school nurse and Denae Vetterick as our elementary nurse.
Lisa brings extensive critical-care experience from Iowa Methodist Medical Center. She is ACLS certified and has experience providing CPR/First Aid training in hospital and school settings, including training GVCS staff and high school students.
Health and safety at school:
Your child’s health and safety are very important to us! When your child is showing signs of possible illness, the decision regarding school attendance can sometimes be difficult. In order to maintain a healthful, safe environment for all students and staff, we have established the following guidelines.
Please keep your child at home if they have any of the following conditions:
oral temperature of 100 degrees or more (no fever for 24 hours without fever reducing medicine)
vomiting and diarrhea within the past 24 hours
earache lasting more than a day
persistent cough, croup, or chest congestion
reddened, mattering, or crusty eyes
any unexplained skin rash
