Your help and cooperation is essential if we are to maintain a safe and healthy environment for all of our children at JRR Wing. If it is determined that your child is too ill to benefit from being in school, our school nurse will contact you. Please keep the school informed of any changes in your child's health and any changes in telephone numbers where you may be reached in the event of an emergency. If your child needs to take any medication, prescription or non-prescription, at school it is necessary for us to have a Medication Form completed and signed by a physician before we can administer the medicine. Please call the school nurse to request a Medication Form .
