Please keep an eye out for forms and information coming home with each student soon. Included will be the over-the-counter medication form that will need to be signed by the parent and healthcare provider prior to any student having the option of receiving an OTC medication at school.
Please continue to submit a copy of yearly physical exam forms, updated immunizations, and dentist/eye doctor/specialist appointment dates so that all health records are complete. A current physical exam form is required for students entering Kindergarten, 7th grade, or any student new to the school or participating in a school sport.
If your student has had surgery, an injury, or change in health, please let the school nurse know.
See the nurse's page on the school website for more information.
