A Note from Nurse Zenna
IF YOUR STUDENT HAS MEDICATION IN THE HEALTH OFFICE:
Be on the lookout for an email regarding medication pickup days
ESY students need to bring their plans and medications to the program.
Also, please remember to book appointments this summer to get Medical Action Plans and medical orders updated for the August 27th start of the next school year.
Enjoy the summer!
Mrs. Zenna
