Please view the Student Health services website to access the new medication forms and or procedure forms. Medication forms, procedure forms, and emergency care plans must be renewed by the parent, at or before the beginning of each school year in order for your child to receive medication or procedures during school hours on a school campus. Students carrying their own epipen, inhaler or diabetic supplies, are also required to have medication forms on file with their zoned school. Below are a few helpful links.

Parent Responsibility: WE NEED YOUR HELP IN KEEPING ALL STUDENTS, FAMILIES, AND STAFF HEALTHY!
Things we are asking Parent/Guardians to consider:
- Before leaving the home, please ensure your student does not have a temperature or is not displaying symptoms of illness (fever, cough, etc.). Students that are sick or have a fever shall stay home.
- Please keep your child home if they had close contact with someone positive for COVID-19.
- Please encourage frequent hand washing/sanitizing and social distancing whenever possible.
- Please update contact information and have plans to pick up children immediately if ill.
Please note that you will be contacted by your student's school if the student displays symptoms that require them to be picked up from school.
Hand washing plays an important role in preventing the spread of germs. Here are some basic principles of hand hygiene awareness recommended by the Center for Disease Control and Prevention.
- Wash your hands when they are dirty and before eating. Use soap and warm water for 20 seconds or alcohol based cleaner.
- Do not cough or sneeze into your hands. Use a tissue or cough and sneeze into your upper arm.
- Do not touch your eyes, nose or mouth with dirty hands.
- Remember, there is no substitute for good hand washing.
