Welcome!

Dear Families, staff, and students,

Welcome back everyone! I look forward to another great year. Please feel free to contact me by email jeannie.jankowski@cobbk12.org or call 770-971-7706.

School Health Services Mission Statement: The mission of the Cobb County School Health Services is to strengthen and facilitate the educational process through improvement and protection of the health status of all students. School nurses work as a team with school administrators, teachers, counselors, school social workers, families and community to identify and assist each student to reach their maximum state of well-being.

Meet the Nurse: I have been a pediatric nurse for 19 years. My experience is in ortho/ neuro/ trauma, home/ community health, telephone triage, and the Emergency Department. I continue to work at Children’s Health Care of Atlanta at Scottish Rite in the Emergency Department on occasional weekends and in the summer. My husband, of 19 years, and I have 2 children that attend Murdock.

About the Clinic: The clinic is open from 7:30am to 2:30pm. Any medication to be taken at school must accompany a MEDICATION AUTHORIZATION FORM and must follow Cobb County Policy for packaging and transport. http://www.cobbk12.org/centraloffice/adminrules/J_Rules/Form%20JLCD-2_Eng.doc. Please fill out and return your child's clinic card ASAP. These cards help me know your child's medical needs and how to contact you when your child is ill.

Clinic Needs: The clinic closet is in need of gently used pants, socks and underwear. Clothing sizes 8-16 for both boys and girls. Our filed trip bags need portable ice packs, towels, small water bottles, Band-Aids, purse sized tissues, and gauze. Your contributions is greatly appreciated.
