About Me

Hello! I am Amanda Moss, RN, BSN. I am the school nurse here at Wright Elementary. Here is just a little about me. I have been an Registered Nurse now for 8 years and have worked in many different areas of nursing. In addition to being the school nurse at WES, I am an adjunct Nursing Instructor at Lander University and work as a float nurse at Anmed. I am married and have one child who attends Wright as well. My family and I enjoy the outdoors and traveling. During my spare time I practice yoga and kickboxing. I look forward to getting to know each of you this school year. 

School nursing
As the school nurse, I will work with each child's physician, parent and other school personnel to meet special health needs in school so that each child may benefit from their educational program. I am here at the school every Tuesday & Wednesday & every other Friday.

Tidbits
Please help me care for your child by informing me if your child has:
  • any chronic or acute illnesses
  • a new medication or change in medication dosage
  • been exposed to a communicable disease such as a strep throat infection, chicken pox, or conjunctivitis
  • a life-threatening or new allergy
  • a serious injury requiring hospitalization, or a diagnosed head concussion
  • an injury requiring casting, sutures, a splint, or mobility assistance of crutches or wheelchair
  • vision or hearing difficulties

Please share as needed by:
  • Updating the phone numbers on your child’s school record so the nurse can always reach you
  • Sharing if there is an event at home or in the family that may impact your child at school such as military deployment, birth, or death of a family member or of a beloved pet.
  • ​A child must provide a note from the doctor for activity restriction due to an injury or illness.

 Please keep your child home when the following symptoms are present
  • Temperature of 100 degrees F or greater within the past 24 hours
  • Vomiting or diarrhea occurring within the past 24 hours
  • Strep infections of any kind, untreated ringworm, conjunctivitis, or impetigo. These are all contagious infections and must be treated with medication for at least 24 hours before returning to school
  • Rash of unknown origin - this may indicate many different things and should be checked by your pediatrician
  • Untreated lice infestation
