I wanted to take this opportunity to list a few reminders regarding health room policy and procedures.

Please remember that students cannot transport any medication to or from school. This includes over the counter remedies as well as prescriptions. If your child is in need of medication during the school day, please use the medication consent form that is attached to this website or ask to have one sent home with your child. A physician and a guardian must sign and complete the form. An adult must bring the medication that accompanies the order to school.

We also request that, if your child is ill, has a fever, is vomiting, or is severally congested with a cough please keep them home. Attendance is very important, however, it is as important for our students and staff to minimize the amount of contagious germs spread during the day. We request that your child be fever-free for 24 hours prior to returning to school or have a doctors note to return.

Chapstick is allowed at school. Please remind your child to use it responsibly if they chose to bring it in. They will be asked to leave it home if it becomes a distraction.

Also, cough drops that are not medicated are allowed. We ask that you send a note to the teacher if you are sending some in with your child. Again, please ask them to use them responsibly. No sharing please.

As always, if you have any questions or needs please feel free to call me at 410-751-3433 between 8:45 am & 4:15 pm on school days.
