Nurses Notes:

END OF YEAR MEDICATION POLICY         

     Thank you for your cooperation regarding medications this school year.  The school year is almost over and all medications will need to be picked up from the clinic.  You can pick up your child’s medication during regular school hours.  If you cannot pick up the medication during school hours, please contact me to arrange another time.

     Medication dispensed in the clinic classified as controlled drugs CANNOT be sent home with a student.  We will be disposing of any medication not picked up by 3:30 PM Friday, June 14.

      When seeing the doctor this summer, you may want to have him/her complete a MEDICATION form for PRN or Health Services Care Plan (for Diabetes, Asthma, Seizures, and Anaphylaxis Allergens) for the 2019-2020 school year.  You can pick up these forms in the clinic OR you can also download the forms you need from the SCPS District Home Page under Health Services.  Also as an added convenience, I will be sending home the forms if your student had medication in the clinic.  If your student will be carrying an emergency medication or inhaler, I will still need the medication form. 

      If your student will be playing sports for SCPS the VHSL (Virginia High School League) athletic physical will need to be completed and turned into the Front Office annually.

      With recent outbreaks of measles, hepatitis, mumps, and other contagious diseases it is always a good time to speak to your doctor or Stafford County Health Department to review your student’s immunization records.  Any immunizations required by Virginia Department of Health can be acquired at no cost at the County Health Department.  If your student does receive any immunizations please send a copy to the Clinic Nurse.

HAVE A SAFE, Healthy, AND HAPPY SUMMER!
