Medicine at Camp
If your child will need to take ANY medicine (including over-the-counter and prescription medications) at camp, there are VERY SPECIFIC PROCEDURES which need to be followed according to Ohio Revised Code.
These procedures, along with the required forms, can be found online at:
www.westg.org 🡪 Middle School 🡪 Resources 🡪 Clinic Forms 🡪 Medication Drop Off and Pick Up Form
The medicine, along with the required forms, must be submitted to the middle school office by Monday, February 26th.
The forms do require a physician’s signature, so please plan accordingly.
If you have any questions regarding medicine at camp, please contact our school nurse, Stephanie Wright, at 729-5922 ext. 5942, or at stephanie.wright@westg.org.

Dear Sixth Grade Parents/Guardians:
Sixth Grade Camp is approaching! Please read the following important information:
If possible, each student should pack his or her belongings in no more than two bags: a duffel bag for clothing and toiletry items, and a garbage bag for bedding. Please make sure that each bag is clearly labeled with your child’s name. Students should not bring more than they can carry. Please see the attached supply list for details on what students should and should not bring with them to camp.
Students also need to bring a brown bag lunch with them for Monday. Camp Fitch is a peanut/tree nut-free facility, so please adhere to their request of no food containing peanuts/tree nuts.
Since the students cannot bring their bags with them on their regular bus to school, they will need to be dropped off Monday morning with their equipment. Parents are discouraged from coming into the building with their students as this will add to the number of cars in the parking lot/drop-off line. When the students arrive, they will take their belongings with them to the cafeteria to wait in their designated locations. We have set up the following schedule to avoid a traffic jam in the parking lot; please follow it as closely as your schedule allows:
7:30 – 7:45 A.M. Last Names A through I
7:45 – 8:00 Last Names J through P
8:00 – 8:15 Last Names Q through Z
Students and their equipment will need to be picked up when we return on Wednesday. Whomever is picking up your child will need to come into the cafeteria and sign them out. Please do your best to abide by the following schedule when picking up your child and equipment on Wednesday:
12:45 – 12:55 P.M. Last Names A through I
12:55 – 1:05 Last Names J through P
1:05 – 1:15 Last Names Q through Z
Don’t forget the following dates:
- May 2: Medication and forms due to Stephanie Wright, school nurse. Forms are available online at www.westg.org 🡪 Middle School 🡪 Resources 🡪 Clinic Forms 🡪 Medication Management Form. If your child takes any medication - prescription or over-the-counter - this form must be completed by both a parent/guardian and a medical provider. Medications should be in their original container and dropped off to the school by an adult.
- May 2: Camp money due with permission slip
Students not attending camp will have an adjusted academic schedule during the camp trip and are expected to report to school at West Geauga Middle School.
