Reminder students can not carry any medications with them in school. This includes cough drops and over the counter medications like Tylenol, Ibuprofen, vitamins, or supplements. If your student needs to have medication or needs a cough drop, Tylenol or Ibuprofen, they can visit the health room for these medications.

The health room does not have any allergy/cold medicine. If your child needs allergy/cold medicine please be sure that they are taking it prior to coming to school and that it will last for 8 hours to get the student through the day.

If you have a student that is in 11th grade, please turn in their physical forms to the health office along with an updated immunization form if you have not already done so.

Please be sure that your student(s) are eating breakfast in the morning so that they can have the fuel they need to get through the morning and be ready to learn. All students may get one breakfast for free each day this year in the cafeteria. Please remind students to stop by and grab something to eat.

As the weather is changing and the temperatures can be unpredictable please encourage your student to dress appropriately for the weather. Also please be sure that your student is carrying a water bottle to be filled throughout the day so that they can stay hydrated.

Remember that by practicing good health hygiene (washing hands, covering sneezes and coughs) will help to protect everyone from the cold and flu season that will be upon us quickly.

Thank you
