    Hello! My name is Megan Herndon and I am excited to be the school nurse at Chandler Elementary! While this is my first year as a school nurse, my background is in Neonatal Intensive Care. I received my Bachelor's Degree in Nursing from TCU in Fort Worth, Texas. My husband also works in the medical field, and our son and daughter are also Chandler Cheetahs! When I have free time I love to swim, travel and spend time with my family. 
     
    My goal as the school nurse is to meet your students' health needs and notify you the parents if necessary. If your child does not have a fever or signs of a contagious condition, we will have them try to go back to class. Frequently the student starts feeling better and is able to finish out the school day. I do not call parents every time a student visits the clinic unless they have a fever, severe symptoms, or a student bumps their head. If your child takes medication, please fill out the Medication Authorization Form and bring it along with the medication to the clinic. If your child self-carries an asthma inhaler, I will also need an Asthma Action Plan signed by the physician that states the student may self-carry.
     
    We start off the school year with vision and hearing screenings required by the state for students in kinder,1st, 3rd and 5th grades. The best way to reach me is through email as I may be with another student and unable to answer a phone call. Feel free to leave a voicemail if you do call and I will get back to you as soon as possible. 
     
    Family Access enables you to stay informed of your student's academic assignments and grades as well health information.
    If you need a copy of immunization records, you can access and print them directly from Family Access. Please visit the
    Health Services page for Texas School Immunization Requirements and other health information. Feel free to take a moment to
    take a look around my webpage to familiarize your self with Health Policies, Health Forms and other information. Please
    refer back to my website frequently in order to find up-to-date health information, print off clinic forms, and find links to
    health-related topics.
     
    I can't wait to meet and keep all our Chandler Cheetahs healthy this year!
