Health and Attendance Office News
- The last day that parents or guardians can pick up medicine from the health office is June 21st. Any medicines not picked up from the nurse before 2:55 on June 21st will be disposed of. The health office is open 7:25-2:55 Monday through Friday.
- Reminder - the school requires a request from the guardian in writing for any student to leave during the school day. An email to Mrs. Green works, or sending a note in with your student in the morning and having them drop it off to the Attendance/Health Office. If we do not have something in writing we need guardians to come in to the building and sign their student out.
- It is a NYS requirement for 9th and 11th grade students to have physicals and submit a copy to the Health Office.
