Curtis Goes to Washington in 96 days!
Dear families,
SAVE THE DATE: Family Orientation Part II will be on April 16 at 6-7pm. This will be a remote meeting on Zoom. ATTENDANCE is MANDATORY. This presentation will inform you of the logistics, itineraries, expectations for travel, etc.
Medication Drop Off:
If your child will require medication during our trip, it must be dropped off at Curtis prior to our departure. Ms Varner, our school nurse, will accept medications on May 7th from 12-4 and May 8th from 8-12. Please note these requirements:
- Medication must be accompanied by a signed physician’s order, which includes the specific medication name and dosing instructions, and stipulating specific diagnosis requiring treatment. For short-term medication, lasting 7-10 days or less such as antibiotics, the prescription label on the original pharmacy container is acceptable as the physician’s order.
- Medication must be brought to the school nurse by the parent/guardian in the original pharmacy labeled container. For prescription medication this label must include the student’s name, medication name and dosage, frequency of administration, name of licensed prescriber, and the date of the prescription. Over the counter medications must be in the original container. The parent/guardian and the school nurse will count the amount of medication needed for the duration of the trip (4 days and 3 nights) and store the amount in an envelope that will be labeled with the student's name and dosage information. All medications must be dropped off to the school nurse on May 7th between 12-4 or May 8 between 8-12.
As a reminder, the Roommate Request Form on Schoology is due Feb. 14th. Please check in with your student to see if they need assistance.
Be well,
Lauren
