Reminder: Pick up all meds in the clinic BEFORE 3:00 PM on Friday, May 17, 2024!
Medication Pick-Up in the Nurse’s Office
Dear Parents,
The last day of school this year is Friday, May 17, 2024. We ask that you please come to school to pick up all of your child’s medication, including Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Cough Drops and Benadryl, the last week of school. Any medication left in the clinic after 3:00 PM on May 17. 2023 will be destroyed in accordance with FISD policy--NO EXCEPTIONS. If you’re not sure if you left medication in the clinic for your child this year, please feel free to contact me so I can check for you.
We hope you will understand that this is a safety measure to try and prevent the medication from getting into the wrong hands. This not only protects your child, but it protects other students as well.
For safety reasons, we ask that if your child’s medications include any kind of asthma medicine or an Epi Pen that you wait until the last day of school to take your child’s medications home with you.
Thank you for your cooperation in this matter. Please call me at (469) 633-3908 if you have any questions.
I wish you all a very happy, safe, and healthy summer!
Sincerely,
Nurse Burrell
