Some pharmacies will put a few doses in a separate container if the child needs to take it at school as well as at home. A more detailed explanation of the medications policy can be found on page 5 of the Student Handbook and a copy of the Parental and Physician Authorization Form is in the back of the handbook. Also if you have not filled out the Student Health Information Sheet in the back of your handbook, this is helpful, especially if there are any health concerns or if you have updates of your phone numbers because of changes at work or home. The head lice situation seems to be under control at present. With your help, we hope to keep it that way.
Early detection is very important.
Please understand that head lice are a community problem and anyone can get head lice whether they are clean or dirty. It is imperative that all cases of head lice be reported so that any contacts can be checked to stop the spread. Thank you for your continued support and cooperation. The St. Mary's County Public Libraries offered a variety of children's reading programs and incentives this summer to encourage and foster reading. Many of our students participated in those programs and we would like to recognize and applaud their efforts.
