Welcome to the Health Room! My name is Lisa Pearce RN and I am the school nurse here at Sue Cleveland. I graduated in 1996 from the Medical College of Georgia with a BS in Nursing, and have worked in a variety of settings the past 14 years before coming to Sue Cleveland. I love children and am so thrilled to be caring for your kids each day!
*****
IMPORTANT END OF YEAR ANNOUNCEMENTS*****
PLEASE REMEMBER TO
PICK UP ALL MEDS BY LAST DAY OF SCHOOL ON JUNE 3. LAST FULL DAY OF SCHOOL IS MAY 28, SO OVER THE COUNTER MEDS AND DAILY MEDS WHICH ARE NOT GIVEN IN THE MORNING MAY START GOING HOME THEN. PLEASE WAIT TO PICK UP EMERGENCY MEDS SUCH AS INHALERS, EPI-PENS AND GLUCAGON UNTIL THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL.
MEDICATIONS CANNOT GO HOME WITH THE KIDS, PARENTS MUST PICK THESE UP. ANY MEDS LEFT AT END OF SCHOOL DAY ON JUNE 3 WILL BE DESTROYED ACCORDING TO SCHOOL DISTRICT POLICY.
THANK YOU!
**HEALTH ROOM POLICY CHANGES BEGINNING IN AUGUST 2010**
DUE TO CHANGES IN SOUTH CAROLINA POLICIES GOVERNING THE ADMINISTRATION OF PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION, WE WILL NO LONGER HAVE A 10 DAY GRACE PERIOD BEFORE WRITTEN PHYSICIAN AUTHORIZATION IS REQUIRED FOR ALL PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS.
*PARENTS ARE REQUIRED TO BRING PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION TO SCHOOL AND PROVIDE SIGNED MD/PARENT AUTHORIZATION FORM (NOW ONE FORM) BEFORE ANY PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION MAY BE LEFT AT THE SCHOOL.
*IF YOUR CHILD MUST SELF-ADMINISTER MEDICATION AT SCHOOL, SIGNED MD/PARENT AUTHORIZATION FORM IS REQUIRED BEFORE MEDICATION IS BROUGHT TO SCHOOL.
*A PARENT MUST SIGN PARENT AUTHORIZATION FORM FOR ANY OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICATION TO BE KEPT AND ADMINISTERED IN THE HEALTH ROOM. WE DO NOT KEEP STOCK MEDS, HOWEVER, SO YOU MUST PROVIDE THESE IF YOU WANT YOUR CHILD TO HAVE.
FEEL FREE TO STOP BY OR CALL AT 355-4207 IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS OR CONCERNS. IT HAS BEEN A JOY AND A PRIVILEGE TAKING CARE OF YOUR CHILDREN THIS PAST SCHOOL YEAR. HAVE A FUN AND SAFE SUMMER BREAK!
SINCERELY,
Nurse Lisa
