School Procedures:
Medication Procedures
In order for your student to take a prescription medication at school, we must have signed permission. In addition to the parent’s signature, a physician’s signature must be obtained for the administration of all prescription medications; this includes inhalers. A current prescription bottle or prescription label/box for inhalers will be required. Any over the counter medication must be provided by the parent and will require a signed parent’s permission form. These forms are available in the health room. For more information, please contact Ms. Beth Gladden, school nurse, at 691-6850, ext. 85410.
Class Interruptions
In the course of our daily lives, we all invariably forget things from time to time. Unfortunately, in an educational setting, this is a problem larger than just the forgotten item. Interruption of a class to call a student not only interrupts that student’s instruction, but the instruction of 25 others as well.
As educators, we must comply with state as well as district and school requirements for content covered. We can not afford to lose any instructional time in the course of a day. Please know we want to help your child in every way, but we must strictly enforce our policy on class interruptions. If your son/daughter has an item delivered to the office, he/she will be notified five minutes prior to the grade level lunch period to come pick it up. If it is after the lunch period when the item is delivered, the child will be notified just prior to dismissal. It will be the student’s responsibility to come to the main office to retrieve his/her article.
Please help us make every moment count and take a little time at home to pack bookbags, lunches and assemble needed materials for the following day. Make sure if there is a deviation in the regular routine because of an appointment, the student knows exactly what the change is and the resulting effect, i.e. different ride home, early dismissal, etc.
Thank you for your help, support and understanding as we strive to provide the appropriate learning atmosphere for your student.
