12 MEDICATION All prescriptions and all non-prescription medications that are given during school hours require a physician’s medication form signed by a doctor. This includes cough drops, cough syrup, aspirin, etc. A responsible adult MUST bring all medication to school in the original container. Children are NOT to transport medications to or from school. Children are also not to keep medication in their possession during the school day. If you have any concern regarding this policy, please contact the school nurse. Please follow the school schedule of 8:45-4:15 when bringing medications to the nurse for your child.

A new law in Maryland (House Bill 1221) requires that parents/guardians of children enrolling in prekindergarten, kindergarten, and first grade, beginning September 2003, are required to provide the school with a copy of the blood lead testing report at the time of enrollment. PERSONAL DATA/EMERGENCY INFORMATION FORMS New personal data/emergency information forms will be sent home with each child at the beginning of each school year. This form provides the emergency information that is essential for students. PLEASE COMPLETE ALL INFORMATION ON THE FRONT AND BACK OF THE FORM FOR EACH CHILD YOU HAVE IN OUR SCHOOL. All updates to our electronic student information must be accompanied by a new data form. No updates can be made without a signed, and dated data form. For your child’s health and safety, it is CRITICAL that we have CURRENT emergency information, including parent’s home phone number, cell phone, work numbers, name and number of at least TWO other persons, if possible, who will take responsibility for your child if he/she should be injured or become ill at school when we are unable to reach you. Please be sure to ask these people if they are willing to assume this responsibility before you use their names. We also need to know of any changes in your child’s health status. In addition, if there are any restrictions regarding custody/visitation this information should also be shared with the school office and your child’s teacher for the safety of your child. Please provide us with a copy of any legal custody paperwork you may have for your child. A copy of the official paperwork is to have the seal/notary from the court/judge.
