Up-to-Date Information
A student’s health and medical history are important. Up-to-date information ensures that we are aware of each
student’s individual needs. Please be sure we have the most up-to-date health information for your child. Please be sure to let us know if there has been a change of phone number or person to call if parents are unavailable.
Wash Your Hands
Did you know that hand washing is the most important step we can take to avoid getting sick and spreading germs to others? When should I wash my hands?
Medication Authorization form
Did you know that an authorization form must be completed and new form must be completed each school year if your child receives medication (prescription or over the counter) during the hours he/she is attending school? Please remember to pick up meds at the end of the school year.
