If you anticipate your child needing medications during school hours, please be sure to fill out a medication permission form appropriately and have an authorized adult bring the medication to school. CCPS prohibits any students transporting medication to school. Please be aware that any medications, except Advil and Tylenol, must have a doctor’s order for the medication to be administered in school. Doctor’s orders are also required if you wish to give your child any other dosage than what is recommended by the manufacturer. This would include giving a child under the age of 12 adult strength Advil and Tylenol, or giving a higher than recommended dosage.

Students Calling/Texting Home
We are seeing an increase in the number of students who are calling/texting their parents to pick them up because they feel sick.
In order for a student to be signed out sick the student must come to the health room prior to any parent contact being made.
The nurse will assess the student and call the parent if the student is too ill to remain in school.
If the student requests that the nurse call a parent, this will be done. The student and parent together may make the decision whether the student will remain in school or be picked up and signed out sick.
If the decision to pick up a student is made without any prior student contact with the nurse, the parent may sign out the student unexcused.
