Welcome Back from Nurse Powell!
Parents, please be mindful of the following important information:
- All prescription medication to be given at school needs an order from the medical provider.
- All over the counter medication needs to have a parent consent on file and medication supplied by the parent.
- Students are not allowed to carry medication in book bags unless they have a signed order to self medicate for diagnosis of diabetes, severe allergies and asthma. All other medication needs to be kept in the health room.
- Students who need medical accommodations such as use of the elevator, extra time between classes, or frequent bathroom breaks due to a medical problem, must have a note from the medical provider given to the nurse.
- Only injuries that have occurred in school on the same day will be treated by the school nurse. Old injuries should be treated at home by parents.
- All immunization records that are updated need to be turned into the nurse as soon as you get a copy. Current immunization requirements for school can be found on www.dph.sc.gov
Please ensure that your student eats a good breakfast daily and keeps
hydrated, this helps them to have a good healthy day at school!
For any questions please contact Patricia Powell, RN at 803-476-3000.
