Parents & Families - please be mindful of the following important information:

• All over the counter medication needs to have a parent consent on file and medication supplied by the parent.
• Students are not allowed to carry medication in book bags unless they have a signed order to self medicate for diagnosis of diabetes, severe allergies and asthma. All other medication needs to be kept in the health room.
• Students who need medical accommodations such as use of the elevator, extra time between classes, or frequent bathroom breaks due to a medical problem, must have a note from the medical provider given to the nurse.
• Only injuries that have occurred in school on the same day will be treated by the school nurse. Old injuries should be treated at home by parents.

All immunization records that are updated need to be turned into the nurse as soon as you get a copy. Current immunization requirements for school can be found on www.dph.sc.gov

Please ensure that your student eats a good breakfast daily and keeps hydrated, this helps them to have a good healthy day at school!

Due to testing and other events, select Wednesdays will have no late start and operate on a regular schedule. Add the dates below to your calendars to ensure your students are on time on these no late start Wednesdays.

The best way to stay up to date with your student's academic progress is through PowerSchool's Parent Portal. Parent Portal will open at the beginning of the school year. Parents and families who have never accessed PowerSchool will need to create an account and associate that account with their students. Families with existing access will be able to log in once the portal opens for the year.
