Help us stock the shelves! From now until the end of the school year, we're collecting donations for Operation Give Back’s Food Pantry. As summer break approaches, the need remains high, but the supply is low. Let's ensure no student or family goes hungry. Bring your donations into the donation bin at school before the last day. Help make a difference today!

Dear Parent,

Just a reminder as the school year comes to an end, if your child has medication in the school clinic at the end of the year, an adult must pick up medication by May 30th. No medication is allowed to be transported by a child. Medication remaining in the clinic office past the last day of school must be discarded. This includes inhalers and Epipens. Please plan to make arrangements for your student’s medication to be picked up by the last day of school. Please email wyrickd@sycamoreschools.org for further questions or concerns regarding your student’s health at school or medications.

In preparation for next school year, if your student has food allergies or other allergies, asthma, seizure or diabetes, additional health forms located at the following link to our school health services page can be found at http://www.sycamoreschools.org/Page/2309 If your child will have prescription or over-the- counter (OTC) medication at school next year, the doctor must sign a new medication administration form for each new school year. Please plan to do this early in the summer, so orders are on file for the first day of school. No medication may be given without a new medication administration form signed by the health care provider and parent each school year. If your student will be attending summer school and will need to have access to emergency medications, please contact Lindsey Hake at hakel@sycamoreschools.org .

I hope you and your family enjoy a healthy and safe summer.

Sincerely,

Diana Wyrick, RN, NCSN

Blue Ash Elementary School Nurse

Nurse Wyrick is looking for some gently used pants for her office for when students need to change at school. If you have any pants you can donate please send them with your child to school or drop them off at the front office and let them know they are for Nurse Wyrick!
