School Nurse Appreciation Day

From the Clinic
Parents of students with medications at school will need to pick up the medication prior to the end of the school year. If we do not receive instructions from you before the end of the school year, we will dispose of the medications accordingly. Please remember students are not allowed to transport medication. You can reach the clinic at 770-338-4683 for any questions or concerns.
