Healthy Student Program
Hello Coyotes,
Nurse Leslie here to let you know about an exciting program CCMS will have this year. The Healthy Student Program is back to help reduce help problems and improve school attendance. Parents a letter is attached explaining the program. The application needs to be filled out, signed for this school year only and returned to the clinic. With a filled out and returned application your student will be able to come to the clinic and get medication for headaches, skin irritations, menstrual cramps, stomachaches and other health problems that can be resolved with over the counter medications. If you have any questions please feel free to email me at lgriffen@pasco.k12.fl.us
