Please remember to cover your mouth and nose with a tissue when you cough or sneeze and throw used tissues in the trash. If you don't have a tissue, cough or sneeze into your elbow, not your hands. Wash hands often with soap and water for 20 seconds, dry hands with a paper towel, and use the paper towel to turn off the faucet. If soap and water are not available, hand sanitizers may also be used to perform hand hygeine. Remember to stay home when you are sick until at least 24 hours have passed without a fever and without the use of fever reducing medications. Together we can help stop the spread of germs that may make you and others ill.

About Me

Hello, my name is Kathy Stevens and I am the school nurse at Haymarket Elementary School. I have served as the nurse at Haymarket ES since it opened in 2014. Prior to working here at Haymarket, I worked as a pediatric nurse, mostly in the hospital setting. I have been a pediatric nurse since 1988 and received a Master of Child Health Nursing/Pediatric Nurse Practitioner degree from Emory University in 1992. I love working here at Haymarket Elementary and I am looking forward to a happy and healthy school year!
