IWeb School Nurse Module User Guide

School Nurse - Schools Menu

The name, address, city, state, status, and type of individual schools are initially entered by the Registry Client user or the Administrator. If a search does not locate a school, contact the appropriate registry administrator.

The School Nurse module allows a School Nurse user to select a school's grade levels with the School Menu's Edit Schools option. These are the grade levels that are then used in reporting. The three links available in the School Menu category are:

Edit Schools
Roster
Absenteeism (appears after a patient is selected)

Edit Schools

Before editing a school's grade levels, a search must be conducted for that school. To do so, select Schools > Edit Schools from the menu, after which the School Maintenance page opens. Enter the search criteria and click Search. The search results appear at the bottom of the page. If a school was selected after the user logged in, that school may be listed in the Search Results section prior to a search being conducted.

The search criteria fields are as follows:

Field	Description
Name	To narrow the search results by school name, enter either a few characters of the name or a unique word in the name.
City	To narrow the search by city, enter the name of the city.
State	The state name may be pre-populated and read-only.
County/Parish	If the county/parish was assigned to the user, this field may be pre-populated and read-only. Otherwise, enter/select the county/parish name.
School District	To narrow the search results to a specific school district, select it from the drop-down list.
Inactive	To narrow the search results by active status, select Active Only (default), All Schools, or Inactive Only from the drop-down list.
School Type	To narrow the search results by school type, select it from the drop-down list (i.e., Public or Private).
School Code	To narrow the search results to a specific school code, enter it here.

After the search results are displayed, you can select a specific school by clicking the arrow button located in the Select column. Other columns include School Name, City, State, and Inactive (status).

Once a school is selected, the information for that school is populated in the School Maintenance fields at the top of the page, and the grade levels are listed below that.

In addition to the fields listed above, additional fields include: Address, Zip Code, Phone Number, Fax, School Facility Type, County District Number, Average Enrollment, and School Email Address. Some states may have additional state-configured fields.

To assign a grade level to the school, select it in the Available Grade Levels box and click the >> button to move it to the School's Grade Levels box. Multiple grades can be selected and moved together. To remove a grade level from a school, select it in the School's Grade Levels box and click the << button, after which it is removed from that box and placed again into the Available Grade Levels box.

Click Save when finished selecting grades for the school.
