Medication Info from Nurse Alison for Returning Students |
If your child has been studying virtually but plans to return in-person after Winter Break and has medication (scheduled medicine, "as needed" medicine, EpiPen, Auvi-Q or inhaler), please make plans to get those in to the Nurse.
Remember, medicine must come in its original container with the original prescription label. You can bring up to a 20 day supply. An inhaler must have the Asthma Action Plan with it signed by the doctor. The EpiPen/Auvi Q must have the Allergy Action plan with it signed by the doctor.
Please do not send medicine in with a student or place it in a backpack. All medicine must be brought in by an adult and signed in with Nurse Alison.

There are lots of ways to pitch in!

Peanut Butter and Jammies at Home Edition - Live Stream Holiday Event |
Jump into your jammies, grab a cup of cocoa, and join award-winning songwriting duo Mömandpöp for a virtual winter-themed Holiday Snowball in the comfort of your own home!
Featuring insanely catchy music by Bobby Matthews and Virginia Ralph, this Holiday Snowball will feature colorful characters, whimsical props, holiday-inspired tunes, and loads of audience participation.
When you sign-up for the live stream we will send a list of props (bubbles, tissue paper, snow, etc.) ahead of time so that parents can provide a little extra “magic” during the show. Tune in and get ready for a family dance party sure to lift your spirits and make your holidays a little extra bright!
Join us for a Pre-show Pajama Party on Zoom with Mömandpöp just before the Holiday Snowball. Children will get a chance to show off their holiday jammies and participate in virtual games. Be sure to sign-up so we can send you all the information about the Pre-show Pajama Party with Mömandpöp too!
This year has been so hard on so many and we hope this will provide some much needed happiness to children!
