~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From Nurse Amy & Nurse Shelly
Medications:
Students may not carry medication on them at school and nurses can not give out medications, ointments, or creams unless signed in by a parent. The medication policy states that all medications signed in must be in an unopened bottle, nonexpired, if over the counter, and prescription medications must have a doctor's signature on the appropriate paperwork before nurses can accept it. Please call Nurse Amy or Nurse Shelly if you would like to schedule a time to sign in medications for your student. The clinic may not always be open or the nurses may be busy with students, so calling first would be appreciated.
Immunizations:
Please make sure your immunizations are up-to-date. If you have received a temporary certificate or letter, please get that updated as soon as possible.
Crutches or Impaired Mobility:
All students on crutches or knee scooters require a signed liability release to be on file with our school. A parent must sign one of these forms in person on the student's first day of using crutches or the knee scooter at school.
You can reach Nurse Amy and Shelly at 615-904-6771 ext 5;
