Health & Wellness Guidelines

- Notify the office of any new allergies, medications, or medical diagnoses so we can update care plans.
- All medications (prescription or OTC) require a signed Medication Authorization Form on file.
- Children must be symptom-free of vomiting or diarrhea for 24 hours before returning to school.
