Nurse Services Parent Letter

Medical Documentation for 2026/27 School Year

All medical forms must be updated annually.  This includes the Annual Health Form on PowerSchool.  You will need to review the information and validate the next school year form.  All students, regardless of health concerns, must have an updated PowerSchool Annual Health Form completed.  This is found under “forms” on your PowerSchool account after Jul 1, 2026.  Any diagnosed Medical condition requiring a Health Care Plan must have updated documentation from the student’s Physician every year. 

**REMINDER: 

New medication forms need to be submitted at the start of each school year.  All prescription meds must have a Medication Administration Form signed by both a parent/guardian and the Physician.  

Students may not carry any medications without a Medication Administration Form signed by a parent.  Prescriptions must also be signed by a Physician that the student is competent to self-administer the medication.  This includes rescue-type medications.  Each student will need to meet with the Nurse to validate medication self-administration understanding at the start of the school year.   

Medication forms are located on the GPS website under the Department tab labeled “Nursing Services”.

The GHS Athletic Department would like to share an important update regarding concession stand operations for the 2026-27 school year.

Sports Equipment Reminder

Please remember that equipment, ball bags and other athletic items cannot be stored in the Main Office during the school day. If you do not have a vehicle where you can safely keep athletic equipment during the day or it is too big for your locker, please place it in the Athletic Closet upstairs - Room 220. This closet will remain locked during school hours.  All athletes have access to the elevator, so you do not need to worry about carrying heavy bags up and down the stairs. Please help us keep the Main Office clear and accessible during the day by using the designated athletic storage closet.
