Montgomery County policy requires written parental consent for the administration of medication to a pupil. This must be completed by the parent and physician. Medication must be brought to school by the parent or guardian. Each year children in kindergarten, grade 4, children new to MCPS, and other students who are recommended, are tested by a trained technician from the Department of Health. Any irregularities are noted and parents are notified.
Some articles are new and are never claimed.
If articles have not been claimed after a reasonable length of time, they will be given to charity. Parents are invited to come and check for lost articles but should contact the office first. When it is necessary to send money to school for field trips, pictures, etc., all checks or cash should be placed in a sealed envelope with the child's name, homeroom teacher's name, amount, and purpose for which the money is intended written on the outside. Please do not let children bring extra money to school. It is impossible for the school to replace lost or stolen money.
