Welcome Back to School from Nurse Patti

I hope each of you had a wonderful summer break. I am looking forward to the new school year. On the Nurse’s Corner on the school website you will find forms and information for you.

Just a few things I need to touch on before school. All vaccine records must be up to date to attend school, this is a Georgia law. There are some changes in the over the counter medication procedures, please be sure to review it.

I will also need a Health Information/Over the Counter Medication form for each scholar. If this is not completed and signed, I will not be able to give any of the over the counter medication on list. I will not be able to call and get verbal consent from you.

Each year the Health Department checks the immunization records for scholars entering KK, 6th, 7nth, and 11th grade. I will be contacting the parents of Scholars who need immunizations in order for them to return to school next school year. You will have 30 days from the first day of school to get the necessary immunizations, if not, your Scholar will not be able to attend school until the record is current.

Prescription Medication

If your Scholar takes prescription medication at school, I will need forms updated and  signed at the start of each school year. I will have all the needed forms at next year's Open House. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to call me by email or phone. 

Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your Scholar's health.

Sincerely,

Patti McDonald LPN
