End of Week 1 Updates - Medical information from the nurse for the Science trip and other reminders

Hi all,

   As we are getting back into the swing of the new school year I wanted to send out a few updates for 8th grade students and families:


1. Reminder from the Nurse RE: Fall Trips

• With the 8th Grade science trips scheduled for Tuesday September 26th and Thursday September 28th we are hoping to get out permission slips and medical forms to you at some point next week. At that time we will also have which of the two days your child will be going on the trip. Because this is an extended day trip you will have to fill out medical and emergency contact information as part of the field trip packet. If your child does carry an epipen or inhaler please make sure this information is updated. WMS Staff cannot administer an epipen or inhaler if we do not have updated and verified medical consent and will be forced to call and wait for 911 to respond. 
• The school nurse wanted to remind you of the following:

Hello 8th grade families,

For the safety of you child/children during the 8th grade science field trip, if your child has an EpiPen or an Albuterol Inhaler please be sure that our School Nurse, Marcia Nims, RN, BSN has received the required medication order forms as soon as possible. Please also be sure that any medication is submitted with the physician's order and, when possible, not expire before 06/18.

The required medication forms are linked below for your convenience. Please be sure that all medications and medication order forms are submitted to the Nurse no later than 09/18/17.

Best,

 Marcia Nims, RN, BSN

2.    8th Grade Homework Club

• 8th Grade Homework Club begins on Tuesday 9/12 after school. Homework club runs from 2:30 until 3:30 on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Homework club for 8th grade on Tuesday will be with Ms. Netcoh in Room 131 and on Thursday with Ms. Williams in room 136. Homework club is a quiet, focused location where students can come to complete their homework and also check in with teachers if need be for extra help or assistance.
