Notes from the Nurse:
Thank you for your help and support throughout the year! I look forward to caring for your child!
- ALERT … I cannot accept verbal permission to give medication to your child for headache, ear ache or sore throat. Written permission from a parent or guardian is required. Please be sure to fill out a medication authorization form on page 26 ( English ) page 28 ( Spanish ) for your child . ( or download the one I have at the bottom of the page) If authorization is not on file, a parent must fax, email, or send written permission before a student will be given any medication from the school clinic. A new medication form must be filled out each school year.
- If you anticipate that your child may need medication during the school day, please supply that medication. All medications must be in the original container (no baggies) and small bottles are preferred.
- All medications must be brought to school by a parent or guardian. Students cannot have medication on the bus, of in their backpacks.
- If your child has a chronic medical condition (such as asthma, diabetes, seizures, bee allergy, food allergy, etc…), please speak with me prior to the start of school. Your child’s health care plan needs to be updated yearly & Mrs. Herring, our cafeteria manager, needs documentation of food allergy from the doctor.
- If your child requires a rescue inhaler, glucagon, or an Epi-pen, it is to be kept in the clinic. If your child has a medical emergency and medication is not available, 911 will be called.
- If your child is diagnosed with a contagious illness during the school year, please inform the office staff or me. This includes illnesses such as: strep throat, mono, flu, chickenpox, rotavirus, ringworm, pink eye, Fifth Disease, hand-foot-mouth disease, etc…
- Students in ALL GRADES are encouraged to keep an extra change of clothing in their cubby or backpack. (lunch spills, bathroom accidents, vomiting, mud puddles etc. )
- If your child requires daily snacks due to a medical condition, you are responsible to provide those snacks.
- Donations to the clinic are greatly appreciated. The following items are needed throughout the year: ginger ale, snack crackers (nabs), granola bars, juice boxes, cough drops & saltines. Clothing items: sweat pants or shorts sizes 4 – 16. T-shirts also sizes 4 – 16.
- Sneakers are a must at school. Flip flops break too easily & toes get stubbed. Please know that you will be called if your child comes to me with a broken flip flop.
Thank you for your help and support throughout the year! I look forward to caring for your child!

Before I can administer medication to any student for a chronic illness, pain, cough or stomach ache, I need the RCPS Medication Authorization form filled out and signed by the parent/guardian. Click on the file below to print the form then drop it off to me with the medicine you would like for your child to receive, in the original container. Thank you.
