MRSA Staph Infections

We have included below an information sheet on the MRSA Staph Skin Infections that we received from the state. With the few outbreaks in schools across the state, we feel it is prudent to remind our students the importance of good hygiene. If you have any questions, you may contact our school nurse Mrs. Blevins or Mrs. Gibbs at the high school. Both of the files below are pdf's and you must have Adobe Acrobat Reader in order to view these files.

Prescription Medicine

Parents may bring prescription medication to school for the school nurse to administer. The following procedures are to be followed:

• Medication must be sent in the original bottle.
• Parents should send no more than one week's supply. The bottle will be returned at the end of the week.
• Parents must either bring the medicine to school or send a note, dated and signed, giving school staff permission to administer medication.
• Students are not to carry medicine with them while at school or on the bus. All medicine will be stored in a locked cabinet in the nurse's office.

Non-Prescription Medicine

The school does not provide medication. If students need to take an over-the-counter medication, parents need to bring the medication to school in the original bottle, written directions for medicine administration, and complete a permission form. Any unused medication must be picked up by the parents at the end of the school year.
