Clinic Reminders
ILLNESS:
As a reminder, if your student is showing signs of illness please keep them home. Your student should be fever, (below 100.0 F) vomiting and diarrhea free for 24 hours before returning to school after being ill.
MEDICATIONS:
The clinic is stocked with OTC Tylenol, Ibuprofen and Tums. If you have not already done so, please review your students account in School Care to provide permission for these medications to be administered. School Care is also where you can update and edit any pertinent medical information for your student.
HYDRATION:
Please remember to send your student with a water bottle each day. We have water refill stations throughout the school building.
VISION SCREENINGS:
Vision screenings will be coming up soon, if there are any problems, we will notify parents at that time.
A full copy of the AMS South Student Handbook with further details related to your student’s health can be found in this newsletter further on down, just follow the link below.
As always, please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns!
I hope you all find time to rest, relax and enjoy your families over the break!
