A MESSAGE FROM NURSE GERI
5
The End is Near!
Can you believe this school year is ending? It is so nice to talk about NORMAL end of the school year procedures.
Is your child turning 11 years old or going to the 6th
grade?
If so, it is time to have some important milestone immunizations. An official copy with an expiration date and office
signature is required to be sent to school. My chart and other self-serve portal copies are not considered official
copies and cannot be accepted. Please send the updated record to [email protected] by July 31st. If
your child is going to 6th
grade and will not have their 11th
birthday yet, do not worry. Updated records sent within a
month of their birthday are still considered on time. Most pediatricians will now administer this set of vaccines early.
If you have medications in the nurse’s office:
Medication pick up for the end of the year will begin on Monday, May 17th
at 9am and end on Friday, May 21st
at 12 noon.
Any medications left after noon on May 21st
will be destroyed.
Planning for Medication Administration in the 2021-2022 School Year:
1. Medication administration forms, food allergy certifications, and emergency plans for your child’s specific illness will
be handed out to parents at medication pick up and will be available on our website. These forms must be received
by July 31, 2021.
2. Parents must schedule an appointment to review medications, medication forms and allergies with the nurse the
week before school begins. Early and late appointment options will be available. An email will be sent to parents
with more details.
3. Any medication appointment requests after the first day of school will be scheduled for the second week of school
during regular office hours.
4. Your child cannot have medications left at school until a completed medication packet has been received and at
least one parent/guardian has met with the nurse.
5. No medications will be received on the first day of school by the office, or myself.
6. Duty teachers cannot accept medications.
School Nurse Hours for June and July
I will not be in town most of June and July. Appointments are reserved for new students with health concerns and newly
diagnosed health concerns of existing students. Please email me if you have a need to meet and I will try to
accommodate you the best I can.
Lastly, it has been an absolute pleasure to take care of your children this year. I will miss them and look forward to
seeing how tall they have grown in the fall!
Yours in Christ,
Nurse Geri
