The following is important information from our School Nurse in regards to health related policies and concerns:

Medications
Medications are only to be taken at school when absolutely necessary. A medical authorization from must be completed by a physician before any medication (whether prescription or non-prescription) can be given to students at school. The form (PS51) can be obtained from the school. Children are not permitted to have any medication (prescription or non-prescription) in their possession or in their backpack at school (including but not limited to cough drops, medication for gas, sinus, allergy, etc.)

New Students
Any student new to Prince George's County Public Schools must have a physical within 6 months of entrance to the school. The Physical Inventory from can be obtained from the school.  Please see the nurse for assistance.

Kindergarten Registration
In order to register students for Kindergarten, the parents/guardians must provide a copy of the child's shot record including 4 Diphtheria, Pertussis, Tetanus (DPT), 2 Measles (MMR), 3 Polio (OPV) 1 Chicken Pox and 3 Hepatitis B vaccinations, and a Physical Examination form (SR6) must be completed by a physician or nurse practitioner.  This physical examination must be completed within the period of 9 months prior to or 6 months after enrollment.

Family Cards
Please make sure you have filled out family cards for each child in your family.  They must be filled out front and back, be signed by the parent and have valid emergency contact numbers.  It is extremely difficult to contact parents when children are sick or injured without current, valid information on these family cards.
