Welcome
to school! This is the start of a wonderful year. Let's review a few things that
will help to make it even more successful.
FREQUENTLY
ASKED QUESTIONS
Q: What are the clinic hours?
A: The
clinic hours are Monday - Friday from 8:30-1:30.
Q: Can you
give my child medication if they need it?
A: I am
able to administer medication only if it has been provided by the
parent/guardian, and an
Authorization to Administer Medication form has been completed. This
includes Neosporin.
Q: Why does
my child have to come home if they red eyes with itching, and possibly drainage
or
Swelling?
A: A child
with those symptoms could possibly have conjunctivitis (pinkeye). If it is bacterial or
viral
it can be highly contagious, and spread quickly to other students, and
staff. I am not
and
unable to make a diagnosis. According
to the Cobb County Schools policy we must have
a
written note from a physician if it is not or proof of treatment before a child
can be
Readmitted to class.

may have, feel free to contact me at 678-594-8158
Please remember to have your child start the day
right with breakfast. The best way to jumpstart a healthy mind for learning is
with a healthy breakfast. It also helps to deter stomach and headaches.
A
great big thank you to all who made contributions to the clinic. Our clinic is very busy, and we go through
supplies quickly. Please keep us in
mind during the year. THANKS!
If you provide snacks for your child's class, please keep in mind some children have peanut and nut allergies when choosing snacks. To be on the safe side, check with your child’s teacher.

Update:
Be
advised that recent information from the Health Department indicates there has
been an increase in the number of reported cases of Viral Meningitis. What this
means to us is that we need to meticulous about hand washing. For Additional
