Incoming students:

Kindergarten and all transfer students must have up-to-date immunizations prior to starting school.
If your child has any health issues, be sure to contact the school nurse as soon as possible to provide information and establish a care plan.

Medication Administration at School:

School Nurses are not permitted to dispense medication to students in school without a doctor's order. This includes over-the-counter products.

Medication in the original bottle and necessary paperwork from the health care provider must be submitted to the Nurse's office if your child needs to take medication during school hours. Forms are located on the right.
