Notes from the Nurse

Please be aware of the MCAS policy regarding your child's health. If a student has a fever, vomiting or diarrhea they must be free of any symptoms for at least 24 hours without use of medication before returning to school. Giving your child Tylenol for a fever and then sending them to school is not following the policy as the Tylenol wears off and your child will be sent back home. To protect all of our students, please do not send your child to school sick. Thank you.

If you have any pants, sweatpants or shorts sizes 4 to 8 that your child has outgrown (boys or girls), please donate to Nurse Eva for our lending closet. We have plenty of all other clothing items. We appreciate all donations to help our students. Thank you.

If you indicated on the registration that your child has Asthma with use of an inhaler, please provide the school with an inhaler and the signed prescription medication form. I have only received 1 inhaler so far this school year and over 30 students have this indicated on their PowerSchool file. Please know that student's may not carry inhaler in their person or backpack unless the Dr has signed that the student is able to self medicate. These inhalers will be taken to the nurse and will not be dispensed until the form is returned with parent and Dr signature. Please make sure the nurse has the medication and paperwork your child needs. Thank you.
