I guess I was so caught off guard because we've been to the ER dozens of times with each of our kids and were never contacted by the school nurse after a visit until now. [/quote]

This jumps out at me.  If you've been at the ER dozens of times for multiple kids without diagnoses, then something is really wrong.  I can totally see them calling in extra support.  [/quote]

This is the OP again....please don't be a jackass. Yes...we've been to the ER DOZENS of times...ear infections, asthma attacks, allergy flare ups, sprained ankles, strep throat, ingrown toenail, suspicious rashes, food poisoning, spider bites, covid testing, stomach viruses, respiratory viruses, concussions, chicken pox...and more. Anybody that judges a parent for getting the appropriate medical care for their child is a moron....[/quote]

You went to the ER for an ingrown toenail?

OP, do your kids have pediatricians? Do they have a nurse on call service? Do you use it?

Seriously this post makes me think that you are in need of exactly the kind of wrap around service DCPS is providing.

Rule of thumb, especially these days. is to avoid the ER at all costs unless it is an actual emergency. You’re the reason our friends’ recent visit to Childrens ER for their 3 year old took 12 hours. [/quote]

PP again. I saw that the ingrown toenail required surgery and that you went to the ER when it was a true emergency. But the fact that it got to that point is surprising to me. It seems likely that you ignored less emergent signs that care or attention was needed.

Both of my kids have woken up with random high fevers (102 isn’t high BTW). When my toddler had a fever of 104+ in the middle of the night, I called the pediatrician, who advised several things to try to bring it down, and recommended only going to the ER if those things failed.[/quote]
