Nurse’s Notes
Just a friendly reminder that all medication must be dropped off by parents to the nurses office. For the safety of all our students, please do not send medication to school in backpacks. Eye drops and other over the counter allergy medications cannot be administered unless the nurse receives a written doctor's order from your child's pediatrician. Thank you!
