Welcome back Woodlawn Middle School students and families;
Now that the weather is beginning to change it is time to start thinking of getting your annual flu vaccinations. Students will be involved in outdoor activities such as football, basketball, and other contact sports. It is especially important to monitor for head injuries. The following links are helpful resources for parents: http://www.cdc.gov/concussion/HeadsUp/youth.html and http://mdpoison.com/families/pppress.html
If you or your child’s physician decides that is necessary for your child to receive medication during the school day, the following regulation must be followed:
The physician’s order may be written on a special medication form obtained from the school nurse, (Parents may also download the Parent’s Request to Administer Medication in School form from the Office of School Health Services website at: http://www.bcps.org/offices/sss/health/ ) or the physician may use his/her own office letterhead stationery.
The medication must be sent to the school in the original or a duplicate box or bottle with the current prescription label on the container. It is not acceptable for medicine to be put in plastic bags, foil, tissue, or plastic wrap containers, etc. Upon request, the pharmacy will provide an empty labeled container to be used for the school nurse.
Students are not permitted to bring any type of medication to school per Baltimore County Public Schools Policy. This policy is written in every student's handbook and it is strictly enforced. Please make sure to reinforce this policy with your child and keep medications at home. Some examples of medicines that are not permitted in school include: eye drops, ointments, asthma inhalers, creams, pills, capsules, allergy medication, ADHD medication, Midol, etc.
Please do not allow your child to bring scented lotions, oils, or perfumes to school because these products cause an allergic or asthmatic reaction in other students and school staff.
