Students participated in the fall Panorama Survey a few weeks ago. We finished the survey with 98% participation. It was a little short of our goal of 100%, but higher than where we've been as a building. Thank you to all the students who took time to complete it. As promised, the 7th and 8th grade class with the highest percentage of completion won a donut party on the principal. They received their donut party on Fri Oct 27th. Those classes were: 7th grade - Mr. Watts and 8th grade - Mrs. Kuhl. Congratulations again to both classes!
*************************

A NOTE FROM THE NURSE
In the event your child needs to take prescription medication while at school, please be sure to have the Request for administration of prescription medication by school personnel (pdf) form or completed by the child’s physician and parents. Forms are available in the school office and on the website.
Nonprescription medication such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, and cough drops may be administered to students if the parent/guardian sends in the medication (in original container) along with written permission for the medication to be given. Dosages cannot exceed the manufacturer’s recommendations for age and weight. (i.e., We cannot administer medication to children under 12 if the label says: “Do not administer to children under 12, except under the direction of a physician.” We need to have a note from the doctor in order to give a dose of medication that is different than the dose stated on the bottle.) All medications, prescription and non-prescription, must be sent in the original container.
