Clinic News
Parents and Guardians,
As you should be aware, all medications are required to be transported to and from school by the child’s parent or guardians. As the school year comes to a close, we want to remind you that all medications will need to be picked up by 11:30am on May 24. Any medications left in the clinic will be discarded and will not remain in the clinic. If your child currently has medications in the clinic that are not likely to be used again, please consider picking medications up prior to the final day of school to avoid long lines.
Thank you,
Your Kitley Nurses,
Monica, Krista and Sandie
