Nurse
My name is Lea Reynolds and I am the school nurse this year. Ms. Bertha Maldonado is our health assistant.
We are here to help your students stay safe and healthy while learning, whether they are learning online at home, or in person at school.
As you know, school looks different this year due to the COVID-19 pandemic. We recognize that there is much concern and stress about how we will protect your children and ourselves during this global pandemic. We want to share some information with you about what to expect from the health office this school year.
APS Sick Day Guidelines
Health Screenings
Health screens are completed yearly for Pre-k, Kindergarten, 1st, 3rd, and 5th grade and for students new to APS. These screenings include vision, hearing, height/weight, and dental.
Parents/guardians will be notified if there is any need for further attention in these areas.
If you would like to opt out from having your child screened, please notify the health office in writing.
Health Insurance
APS' Medicaid Department is available to help families enroll in Medicaid or refer for other eligible services. Please call 505-855-5261 or 505-855-9820 (for Spanish speakers) for more information.

Chronic Health Conditions
Please let me know if your student has a chronic health condition for which s/he will need nursing support this school year.
If your student(s) will require medication or a procedure while at school, please have their provider fill out their specific form. See all Health Forms on the APS website. I cannot give a medication or carry out a procedure without this signed document.
