Health And Wellness

Note from OLA Nurses

The OLA nurses are a group of volunteer registered nurses who are school parents. We offer our clinical knowledge and background, nursing perspective, and advice as it pertains to school events, policy, and maintaining the health and wellness of our children here at OLA.

Our goal is to support parents, students, teachers, and school and parish administrators by offering assistance with various health-related matters.

Our primary focus has been:

Food policies on campus
Faculty first aid, Epi-pen/Auvi-Q training, and anaphylaxis training and education
Contagious disease prevention and enforcement of hand hygiene
Diocesan health policies,
Support for students and families with special health needs

The role of the volunteer OLA nurses is evolving. As members of the OLA community, we are honored to collaborate with our wonderful parents, students, teachers and administrators to ensure a happy healthy school environment.

If you have any questions or suggestions pertaining to the above-mentioned issues or any other health related issues, please feel free to contact us via email- olanurses@gmail.com or via the front office phone line.

If you are a parent at OLA who would like to join our team, please contact us!

Safety

Our Lady of the Assumption School’s outdoor play area has been designed where children can run, climb, play, create, dream and imagine because we believe that “playtime” has a critical role in the development of a child. We have a track and field, basketball hoops, and the crown jewel of our play area, a new playground.” This playground features the latest in playground innovation and safety, and has been created to help children develop balance, coordination, muscle endurance and problem solving skills. Best of all, it is fun - and safe!
