Welcome Back Ospreys!

                     

I hope you had a fun and healthy summer! I'm so excited for the start of the school year and can't wait to see all of our new and returning students!

Here's a few reminders from the health office:                  

Health Forms:
Please complete the annual online registration forms including the health forms. This is the form that will update me on any health changes or concerns and also gives me permission to give over the counter medications at school. The link for the Student Registration/Annual Verification is right on the MBS homepage.

Allergies at MBS:
I will be sending home classroom letters on the first day of school to classes that will be Allergy Aware. At MBS we take allergies very seriously and have"Allergy Aware" classrooms which will focus on hand-washing, not sharing snacks, and keeping snack spaces clean. Any shared snacks for special occasions MUST be pre-approved by the nurse. Please let me know if you have any questions about allergies in your child's classroom.


Medications:
 If your child takes medication at school (including inhalers or epi-pens for allergies) I will need an updated physician order for the medications. All medications need to be brought to school by a parent, and need to be in the original packaging with a pharmacy label.


Extra Clothing:
I have very limited 'extra' clothing in the health office. Please consider sending an extra set in your child's backpack if you think this might be needed. If I do loan your student clothing during the school year, kindly wash and return.

Please contact me if you have any questions or concerns! I'm reached most easily by email at josie.lang@colchestersd.org. You can also call the health office at 264-5904.
