Nurses Note:

Hello parents and Gaudian,

As we begin to enter into allergy, and cold and Flu season we would just like to remind you not to send over the counter mediation (cough drops, Claritin, Mucinex, and etc.) to school with your children.

There are a number of safety concerns with school children carrying medication, including: medication misuse, medication error, medication storage, and medication disposable. If your child is in need of medication while at school, please fill out a medication authorization form and send the mediation in its original container, and the nurses will administer the medication as needed while at school. These forms are located in FACT’s or on the St. Joes website. Also, if you have given your child a medication at home, please email the nurses office with medication given and time in case your child should require a second dose. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact the nurse office. Office hours are M-F 0930am to 1:30pm.

Thank you,

Janelle Carr RN
