Nurse's Office

Just say AAAAAH.....

A friendly face is waiting to greet you. Come visit with our nurse, Barbara Hairston, RN and her assistant, Mrs. Jenny Kite

Emergency Care Cards

At the beginning of each school year, every student is asked to return a completed emergency care card. This is for your child's protection. Please inform the office of any changes in address or phone numbers. It is important that you are able to be contacted in the event of an emergency.

Medication

The Nurse's Office is open beginning at 7:30 each morning. All students are asked to bring any medication to the Nurse's office at that time. All medication must be in the original container and must be accompanied by a physician's release form. These forms are available from the nurse.
