Please be sure to pick up all medications for your child that are stored in the health office no later than 12:00 pm on June 13, 2025. Any medicine left at school after that time will be discarded. Medication cannot be stored in the clinic over the summer.

If your child has an EpiPen or inhaler stored at school and you prefer we send it home with them we will do so on the last day of school. All other prescription and over the counter medications MUST be picked up by an adult.

Please contact the clinic with questions or concerns at 730-4811 or 730-4810, or email msnurse@scarboroughschools.org

Medical orders for the fall may be faxed directly to the clinic at 730-4834.

Parent permission form is linked here, as a reminder this must be filled out each year.
