The nurse’s office is located in the elementary building, but services all three campuses.

Medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, must be in the original containers. A permission slip signed by the parent/guardian must be filled out. See our Medicine at School below for details. Medication to be taken once, twice or three times a day does NOT need to be sent to school. It can be given before school, after school &/or at bedtime.

Students should not be sent to school with a fever. A student has fever if it is 100.0 degrees or greater. If a child has fever at school, they will be sent home. Students should be fever free for 24 hours without using fever reducing medications such as Tylenol, Motrin or Advil before returning to school.
