Your School Nurse is a Registered Nurse – Jason Grunder, R.N.
The School
Nurse is responsible for managing medication administration; developing nursing
assessments on special needs students; and developing emergency protocols for
children with chronic health conditions. He is also responsible for performing
student health appraisals, and mandated vision, and hearing
screening. Mr. Grunder monitors chronic health conditions, develops and

As a member of the regular school team, Mr. Grunder works in conjunction
with Administrators, Guidance Counselors, Special Educators, School
Psychologist, and a Pupil Personnel Worker to develop special procedures for
students, manage immunization compliance, control communicable disease and
improve attendance.
Your School Health Assistant is Pam Rex.
The Health Assistant in each school is primarily responsible for managing the
health room, providing first aid and administering oral medications as delegated
by the school nurse. At SRMS, Mrs. Rex usually sees 100 to 125 students daily.
She provides on-site care for our students’ immediate health needs, keeps the
families and School Nurse informed of health room visits as needed, and
maintains statistics and health room records on over 800 students.
What if my child needs medicine at school?
All medication given at school must be prescribed by a physician on Anne Arundel
form 2210/0 (Parent’s Request to Administer Medication at School). This
includes over the counter medications. This form is available from the health
room or guidance office. Please Note: All over the counter medicines
MUST be in an UNOPENED container when brought to the Health Room. This can
be done at any time.
What if I need more information?
“A Parent’s Guide to School Health” can be found at the Anne Arundel
County Department of Health. It includes information on topics
ranging from when to keep children home from school to packing easy, healthy
lunches. Please check out this excellent source of information.
Remember that the Health Room welcomes phone calls and visits from parents
regarding any concerns for their children! Please keep your school health team
informed of pertinent information regarding your child’s health needs. We are
here to assist you and your child.
We Care!
