Cold and Flu: We are already seeing absences due to illness. While sharing is caring, please remind your child not to share the following items and to exercise caution by washing their hands or using sanitizer on days they don’t feel 100%.

5. • Drinks

   • Utensils

   • Make-up

Mrs. Harrell has a Student Care Closet that she keeps stocked in her room. It is for those moments when families are running behind, a student forgets breakfast/lunch at home, or a student needs a hygiene product.

MEDICATION INFORMATION

• Medication

If possible, parents/guardians should administer medications before or after school. If a student must take medication during the school day, parents must submit a signed Medication Form by the child’s physician. Parents/guardians must send medications to school in a sealed, original container labeled with the following information.

• The student’s name and grade

• The name of the medication 

• The amount of the medication to be taken 

• The time the child is to take the medication

• Authorized school staff must administer ALL medication. Students are responsible for going to the office at the appropriate time to receive medication. Parents are responsible for the following: providing a signed medication form, bringing medications to the school, and picking up any leftover medications at the end of the school year.  If your child attends an overnight field trip, the medicine must be brought to the school one week in advance of the trip and a medication form must be signed for the trip.
