Important Note to Parents

                Please fill out the student emergency forms which will be included in the packet of information at the beginning of the school year. Please return them to school as soon as possible so that the school health record can be updated and your school nurse will be aware of any health conditions that may need a plan of care or accommodations.

 

 Medication  

Over-The-Counter Medication

                A parental request for Over-The-Counter (OTC) medications form will also be sent home at the beginning of the school year. This form MUST BE COMPLETED, SIGNED AND  RETURNED TO THE NURSE before any OTC medicine can be given at school. Please take advantage of this  opportunity for your high school student to be able to have an OTC medication for routine discomforts while at school without having to disrupt your workday!
