FROM THE NURSE'S DESK...

The following are guidelines to assist you in providing your child with the best health services.

1. Notify the school if your child is absent for any reason and why by 9:00 a.m. Homework request must be made at the time of the absence notification.

2. Students are prohibited from storing any medications in lockers or carrying it on their person, unless permission has been granted by the district nurse.

3. Medication must be brought in by the parent to the health office. Remember!! We need three things in order to administer medications, whether presription or over the counter:

A) PHYSICIAN'S AUTHORIZATION

B) PARENT/GUARDIAN'S WRITTEN PERMISSION

C) MEDICATION IN A PHARMACY-LABELED CONTAINER OR ORIGINAL PACKAGE

4. A doctor's excuse is required for a student to be excused from gym or physical activity for more than one day.

5. Vision and Hearing screenings are provided annually.
