Medication Consent Form

Physical Exam & Immunizations Form

Per RI Rules and Regulations; medications, including over the counter meds, cannot be carried or distributed without a physician's consent form. Medications must also be in their original containers labeled with the child's name and dosage as well as the expiration date.

     If a student is to be absent, the parent is to notify the school at 821-3756 between 7:30 & 8:45am with a brief explanation as to why he/she is out.  Please leave a message if there is no answer. If such notification is not received, I will call the parent at home or place of employment. This will assist me in tracking illnesses in each class. If you have any questions regarding this procedure, please see the School Handbook, pg.19.
