Meet Our Nurse
Hi! My name is Tiffany Bennett. I enjoy being the school nurse at Arapahoe Charter School! I love helping students feel their best, so they can do their best work in the classroom!
I welcome contact from parents and encourage parents to inform me of changes to a student’s health. Parents may email me anytime, or I can talk with you on the phone if I am not busy with students.

When Should Your Child Stay Home?
Friendly Reminders
- Medications should not be sent to school with students.
- If your chlid requires medication to be given during school hours, then a medication authorization form must be completed and medications must be brought in the original container by a responsible adult.
- If your child has needed to use an inhaler any time in the last year, then provide one to be kept in the health office for use at school.
- In some cases it is appropriate for middle or high school students to carry emergency medications such as inhalers or epipens. Your child’s doctor must provide written permission for them to carry medication.
- Send in new contact numbers as soon as possible for parents and emergency contacts.
- Parents are encouraged to regularly check student’s hair for lice or nits. This nuisance is easiest treated when discovered early.
