We have a school nurse now, her name is Marcy Duncan. Mrs. Marcy will be here Monday through Friday to be of assistance to our students.
In the back-to-school packets we sent home a "Registration, Authorizations, Certifications, and Consents" form and an "Administration of Medication Release" form. Both of these must be filled out in order for Mrs. Marcy to treat your child. The Medication Release form will allow her to give your child Tylenol, cough drops, etc. if they need this. You will not have to send this medication, but the Barren River Health Department will provide these if you consent.
Without these two forms on file, she cannot administer any medication or provide any services. The only service she could provide if you do not sign is emergency treatment for first aid.
If you send prescription medication to the school you will need to have the doctor to fill out the "Permission for Prescribed Medication" form. Most doctors will already have this form on file and you can ask us if you need a copy.
She is able to provide the following services:
- immunizations
- wellness visits (school physicals, NOT sports physicals)
- hearing and vision screenings
- scoliosis screenings
Please call Mrs. Marcy at our school number, 542-4139, if you have additional questions about her services.
