Important Information from the Health Room

Medications

The Health Room will be open to accept student medications starting Tuesday, August 19TH, during school day hours. Please remember that all medications require a signed doctor’s order and should be dated after July 1st. Prescribed medications need to be in a pharmacy-labeled container. Medication order forms & procedures may be found here

HCPSS requires a new medication order form each school year, dated on or after July 1st, for all medications, including both prescription and over-the-counter medications (over-the-counter medications must be received by the health room in new, unopened containers and be clearly labeled with the student’s name). Please use this physician-medication-form and this EpiPen form.

For additional assistance, contact our school nurse Lauren Grabau

 

Immunization


Students entering 7th grade are required to have one MCV4 (meningitis) and one Tdap vaccine prior to the first day of 7th grade. Some students may have already received these immunizations, but the Health Room may not have the updated record. Please contact your child’s health care provider and send or fax an updated copy of your child’s immunizations to the Health Room. If your student has not received these vaccines, parents should contact their health care provider to make an appointment for your student to obtain the required vaccines. The fax number for the Health Room is 410-313-1741 or you may send an email to lauren_grabau@hcpss.org .
