[MaineSchoolNurse] Updates and Reminders

[Poland, Emily]

I wanted to send out a few reminders and recent updates.


  1.
US CDC guidance in its full form (not just the press release) can be found here: https://www.cdc.gov/ncird/whats-new/updated-respiratory-virus-guidance.html
     *
Maine CDC will be updating its materials and webpage soon. It just takes time as they received the information at the same time we did.
  2.
School Health Advisory Committee meets today at 3:30-5:00. All are welcome to attend although there is a set group of "voting members".  SHAC<https://www.maine.gov/doe/schoolsupports/schoolhealth/advisorycommittee> <https://www.maine.gov/doe/schoolsupports/schoolhealth/advisorycommittee> meets quarterly on the first Tuesday of the month from 3:30-5. Our next meeting, after today will be on June 5. Here is the zoom link if you want to attend. If you have topics that you think should be discussed by this group at some point in the future, you can use this form

  1.  Mental Health Action Guide Weekly Webinar Series<https://www.cdc.gov/healthyyouth/mental-health-action-guide/pdf/DASH_MH_Action_Guide_508.pdf> continues on Wednesday from 3:30-4:30. If you haven't yet registered for this here is the link<https://www.maine.gov/doe/calendar#calendar-6c6f22e1-033b-47cd-8ea3-0906acf8c9e4-event-lsem3wes-1709757000> <https://www.maine.gov/doe/calendar#calendar-6c6f22e1-033b-47cd-8ea3-0906acf8c9e4-event-lsem3wes-1709757000> to do so.  This conflicts with nurse office hours—we know. This series will be recorded and available afterwards and there will be follow up notes to office hours, so you should be able to access the content of both even if you can't physically attend. It's a busy week!

  2.  4th Annual SEL Day is on Friday, March 8. Your school can access lots of resources here<https://www.maine.gov/doe/schoolsupports/climate/sel/selday>!

  3.  School Nurse Office Hours is this week at 3:15. You need to register<https://mainestate.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0ud-6gpjovH9SPlYi0dYM0CNBIWSYdt_cI> <https://mainestate.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZ0ud-6gpjovH9SPlYi0dYM0CNBIWSYdt_cI> in order to receive the link.

  4.  February Monthly Webinar last week was an overview of McKinney-Vento Protections for students experiencing homelessness or inadequate housing.
