With all of the recent cold and flu cases throughout Alamance County, as well as the looming threat of corona virus, it is imperative that students and parents follow our districts illness policies. Please see the attached image for the guidelines. It is also not acceptable for students to be carrying any medication in their backpacks, over the counter or prescription, without a physician order. Please speak with your school nurse if you have any questions or concerns. Let's all work together to keep everyone as healthy as possible.

Welcome back!!!! A new year is upon us and just a few reminders!
ALL out of state students who have joined the Eastern Family need to have a completed North Carolina Health assessment and provide updated immunizations. These need to be given to the nurse by Sept 24th, or your child will be suspended until the required documentation is received. The North Carolina Health assessment can be found at https://sites.google.com/abss.k12.nc.us/abssschoolnurses/parents/prek-and-new-students
All students that have a medical condition that may or may not require medication....diabetes, severe allergies, asthma, migraines, cardiac, should have an emergency medical plan on file with the school nurse. These forms can be found at https://sites.google.com/abss.k12.nc.us/abssschoolnurses/parents/emergency-medical-plans
If your student also needs medications at school, prescription or non-prescription, a medication authorization needs to be completed by your child's physician. The medication form can be found at https://sites.google.com/abss.k12.nc.us/abssschoolnurses/parents/medication-forms
Thank you for your attention to these requirements! Here's to a healthy, successful school year!
