I'd like to wish everyone a belated back to school. The first couple of weeks have flown by and here we are almost in the middle of September already! Now that everyone is back in the swing of things, I'd like to pass on a few reminders.If your child has a medication he/ she will be taking at school-or may possibly need at school-please be sure to have the doctor write an order for the medication. The order should include the name of the student, the name of the medication, the dose of medication to be given, and the time it is to be given at school. The order can be faxed to my office at 978-537-4025, brought in with the medication, or sent in you child's backpack. Medications must be brought in by an adult and need to be in the original container with the prescription label.
If your child needs an over the counter medication, such as Tylenol or Motrin, while at school, I have permission slips that need to be signed by a parent/ guardian. You can get one from my office or print a copy The medication can be brought in by an adult and will be labeled with the student's name and kept in the nurse's office. I will notify you if your receives an as-needed medication while at school.
My aim is to work with students, staff, and families in order to maintain a safe and healthy learning environment. If you have questions or concerns, don't hesitate to reach out. I am available by email and by phone.
And if you're coming to Open house tonight, I'll be here to address any health-related needs.
Here's to a great year!
Nurse Wendy
