Information from Nurse Osterholt
Dear Parents/Guardians,
I wanted to let you know that School Health Services protocol now requires that all medication housed in the school health office must be picked up by parents or guardians by the last day of school, May 29th. In order to ensure the safe return of medication to parents, no medication will be sent home with students in backpacks or on the bus/school transportation. If your student has written authorization on file with the school nurse to self-carry emergency medication, he/she may transport that medication home.
If your student will be attending a summer school site other than his/her home school, please obtain a copy of the signed physician medication authorization form and action plans from your school nurse. You will need to bring your student’s medication and the authorization form(s) to the summer school nurse at the beginning of summer school.
New medication authorization forms and action plans for asthma, diabetes, seizures and allergies can be found on the Parkway website at https://www.parkwayschools.net/Page/1384. Every student who needs medication at school is required by school board policy to provide new signed authorization forms annually.
Thank you so much for helping us keep all students healthy and safe at school. Please let me know if you have any questions.
Sincerely,
Michelle Osterholt BSN, RN, NCSN
