Notes from our Nurse
Important reminder as the school year comes to an end:
If your child has medication in the school clinic. At the end of the year, an adult must pick up medication by May 25th. No medication is allowed to be transported by a child. Medication remaining in the clinic office past the last day of school must be discarded. This includes inhalers and Epi-pens. Please plan to make arrangements for your student’s medication to be picked up by last day of school.
Important to plan for next school year: If your student has food allergies or other allergies, asthma, seizure or diabetes, additional health forms located at the following link to our school health services page can be found at http://www.sycamoreschools.org/Page/2309 . If your child will have prescription or over the counter (OTC) medication at school next year, the doctor must sign a new medication administration form for each new school year. Please, plan to do this early in the summer, so orders are on file for the first day of school. No medication may be given without a new medication administration form signed by the health care provider and parent each school year. Please email wyrickd@sycamore schools for further questions or concerns regarding your student’s health at school or medications.
We wish you a healthy and safe summer!
