Northwest Spokane Pediatrics

Get ready for back to school

Posted by Brooke Jordan, ARNP on Jul 15 2010 | Comments

With summer well underway and back to school shopping starting up again, Northwest Spokane Pediatrics would like to remind you to schedule your well child exam. At your visit, we can update your child’s sports physical, check on any needed vaccinations, and fill out any school paperwork for medications. Remember that all children entering kindergarten and 6^thgrade are required to get their booster vaccines. Make sure to also check with your physician to see if your child is up to date on their hepatitis A and varicella vaccines.  When transitioning back into school, if your child seems to be struggling with his schoolwork or you have concerns about his behavior, schedule a behavior evaluation at our office. Our office specializes in ADD/ADHD and our goal is to help your child succeed in both school and home.
