From the Nurse -- Melissa Reeves
DUE TO A CHANGE IN POLICY THIS SCHOOL YEAR, Parents will have to pick-up all medications brought to school this year for their student. ALL UNCLAIMED MEDICATION WILL BE DESTROYED ON THE LAST DAY OF SCHOOL. If you brought an Over-the-counter medication, asthma inhaler or Nebulizer tubing and medication, or a prescription medication, PLEASE stop by Evans’s Health Clinic and pick it up before School is dismissed on May 28, 2008 If you have any questions, please call Nurse Reeves 766-0728
I would like to welcome you to Evans Middle School. Listed below you will find health policies that will ensure a healthy start for your child. Health History--In order to take the best possible care of your child, please notify the nurse of any health concerns that could affect your student during the course of the school day. Immunizations--Students in middle school will need a booster of certain immunizations. The nurse will notify you when your child has an immunization need. An authorized copy of immunizations must be provided in order for your child to remain in school. A physician or the Health Department must sign the immunization record. Illness--Please call the school attendance number, 766-0722, when your child is ill. Please give the name of the student, grade level, and type of illness. Students with a temperature of 100 degrees or above should not attend school. The student should be fever free for 24 hours before returning to school. A student who is vomiting should stay home until he/ she is able to go 24 hours without vomiting Communicable Disease--Diseases such as Strep Throat and Scarlet Fever must have a physicians statement indicating the student is no longer contagious and may return to school. Medication--LISD employees are authorized by state law to give medicine at school only when it is sent in the original container and proper forms are completed by guardian indicating the date, time, and amount to be given. Please do not send medication in a Ziploc with a note to the teacher or myself. I cannot give medication sent this way to your child. A doctor’s note is mandatory for all students that carry an inhaler or epi pen. Please see the nurse for the forms needed. Emergency Number--Please list the name of someone who may be called in case of emergency. This is very important in helping us locate you or someone who can help your child. If you have a change in the number you list please contact the office to update this information. Thank you for the opportunity to care of your children. Each one is special to us and we care about their daily health.
