MEDICATIONS: If your child requires medications while at school (either prescription or over-the-counter), please review the school’s medication policy and complete the necessary Medication Administration form¸ along with obtaining a doctor’s signature as required. The school is unable to provide medication to your child without the proper form(s) completed.
SPECIAL HEALTH NEEDS: If your child requires any healthcare assistance while at school, please contact me so that arrangements can be coordinated. I am here to collaborate in the health and safety of your child. An Action Plan may need to be completed by your child’s physician if your child has Asthma, History of Seizures, Migraines, Allergies that requires an epi-pen or Diabetes.
HEAD LICE: Please remind your child not to share hats, brushes or hair accessories. If you notice any excessive itching of his/her head, either check for head lice, or notify the school of your concern. Checking your child’s head occasionally will help keep episodes of head lice from becoming epidemic in your school. The health room staff are available to assist with managing any cases that occur.
COMMUNICABLE DISEASES: It is imperative that we work together to mitigate risk of transmission of flu like or Covid-19 like symptoms. Please keep the school informed of any positive Covid-19 tests. Please continue to adhere to your schools policy of when to keep your child home. Please keep the school informed of any communicable diseases that your child may have (such as chicken pox, pink eye, strep infections, mono, etc). This information is important in order to provide appropriate surveillance and to assist the school in preventing further spread.
