Nurse Corner

Health Problems: If your child has a specific health condition that can impact them at school or affect their education, please feel free to share this with the school nurse. The information is confidential.

Medication: If your child receives medication that needs to be given at school, you must get a medication consent form from the school nurse. Medication consent forms are required for asthma inhalers. Students are not permitted to bring or keep on their person over the counter medications (aspirin, Tylenol, cough meds, etc.) or throat lozengers.

Health Problems: If your child has an allergy problem with foods, insects or medication, please inform the school nurse as soon as possible.
