INHALERS- Any student that needs to carry their inhaler must have a physicians's order and a request from the parent or guardian.

2. Prescription medication brought to school must be in the original container (NO BAGGIES) dispensed by a pharmacy or doctor. The container label must have the student's name, date, name of medication, dosage, and time to be given.

3. Over the counter medication must be in its original container and age appropriate.

4. All sample medications from a doctor's office must be accompanied by a note from the physician

5. Change in original request must be done in writing for prescription medications from the physician. Faxed orders are accepted.

Suggestions:
1.Please ask your pharmacist to make a second labeled prescription bottle for medication to be taken at school.
2.Medication that is to be given three times a day may be given before school, right after school and at bedtime.

Sick Or Well?

Send a child to school or keep them home?

No parent wants a child to miss school without good reason, but sending a sick child to class can make a condition worse and put other children at risk. The following guidelines can help make that tough morning decision:

Don't keep a child home for:
1. Sniffles, a runny nose and a mild cough without fever.
2. Vague complaints of aches, pains, or fatigue.
3. A single episode of diarrhea or vomiting without any other symptoms.

Keep a child home when he/she has:
1. A fever of 100 or more for atleast 24 hours after fever subsides without fever reducing medication
2. Persistent vomiting or diarrhea the night before
3. Strep throat for 24 hours after first dose of medication
4. Undiagnosed rash with fever
5. Head lice - till all lice and nits are removed
6. A persistent productive cough and wheezing with thick constant nasal discharge
7. Chickenpox - Stay home until blisters are scabbed over.
8. Pinkeye - Yellow discharge, eyes matted together after sleep, eye pain and redness.

Please keep your child home for 24 hours after the first dose of antibiotics are given unless you have a physicians note.
Please call the attendance clerk in the office by 9:00 concerning your child's absence.
