May Nurse's Notes

May 2014 Nurses Notes

·         Annual Health/Emergency Contact Letter
The 2014-2015 Annual Health/Emergency form will be sent to your home over the summer. Please mail or return the form by the first day of school.  Please make sure you send it to the Health Office of the school where your student will be attending in the fall.   If mailing, please mark the envelope “Attention Health Office”.

·         Emergency Action Plans
If your student has asthma, seizures, diabetes, severe food allergies, or severe bee sting reactions, we request completion of forms specific to these conditions yearly.  They will be sent home with your student before the end of this school year.  Please return them to school next August with medications and doctor orders, as needed.

·         End of Year Medication Pick-up
Medications/Inhalers/Epi-Pens/etc cannot be sent home with elementary and middle school students.  Medications/Inhalers/Epi-pens/etc not picked up cannot be discarded due to the tighter pharmaceutical waste regulations.  Please help the District curtail unnecessary costs by picking up your student’s unused medication.  We recommend leaving rescue medication (Epi-Pens etc) at school until dismissal of the last day.  Please pick up all medications no later than May 29th (by dismissal time).  Please call your schools Health Office if you wish to make other arrangements.
