Vision: GCVS continues to be a safe place for students with potentially life threatening allergies. At the end of the 2022-23 school year, we had twenty-three students with diagnosed allergies corresponding with a prescription for epinephrine (Epipen) to be used for anaphylaxis. At the beginning of this school year, there are fifty-seven students with such allergies and Epipen prescriptions. I am the known expert within the school, and have worked hard to gain the trust of families and faculty to communicate with me when a student could be at risk. I also have the support of our school physician and carry stock Epipens in the event further emergency care is required. Since GCVS' students are located throughout Massachusetts, I am unable to be in every location for in person events. Our families receive my telehealth consultation with the aim of ensuring current access to their Epipen and providing reassurance of our abilities to provide care if needed. I am collaborating with our administration, family engagement and site coordination to make sure staff are aware of the potential risks and educated on the importance of preventative strategies. By May 17, 2024, all of the families with students known to have allergies at risk for anaphylaxis will reflect on changes in their perception of their children's autonomy, and ninety percent will indicate a reduction of fear around their child's ability to safely attend the required GCVS in person events.

Vision: To promote the growth, development and educational achievements of all students by supporting their health and well-being in a safe environment

Health Area Focus: Chronic absenteeism.

Improve districts tracking of absenteeism to work toward decreasing the numbers of students who are chronically absent. We plan to work with each school to get consistent and early notification of students with high absences.This involves meeting with each school attendance team to discuss student attendance issues. We plan to offer earlier and consistent interventions for chronically absent students by providing outreach to families with attendance issues.
