Administration of Medication in School
Good day CMIT family,
We are almost there ! As the 23-24 school year comes to an end, CMIT staff expresses our appreciation, and thank you for your cooperation in helping us to keep your children healthy, in school, and ready to learn. This is a friendly reminder to please pick up all medication (s) that your child has in the Health Room by the last day of school. Unfortunately, the school cannot keep your medication over the summer.
Please keep in mind that if your child requires medication(s) during the school day, including all OTC medications such as tylenol, eye drops, nasal spray, a medication authorization form needs to be completed and signed by both the physician and the parent/guardian. All medications must be brought to the school in its original container, and all prescription medication must be labeled with the student's name, and a pharmacy label attached. Medicines can be accepted without a doctor’s order and the parent /guardian permission.
If your child needs particular medical attention (e,g, asthma,diabetes,etc.) or allergies to specific foods, or exceptional health risks (e.g.bees sting), and may require medical interventions please notify the school or the school nurse. Certain chronic health conditions may require some students to self-administer medication. Students who require self-administration of prescription drugs (e.g. inhalers, epi-pens, etc.) must have a "Self-Medication Authorization Form" on file at the school that includes the physician's and parents/legal guardian signatures. The forms can be obtained from the PGCPS website, in the health office or school office.
We appreciate your commitment to keeping our students safe. If you have any questions, please reach out to the school nurse. I wish you a safe and wonderful summer vacation.
We look forward to seeing you all next school year.

I have attached a flyer for each vendor. Houey's has various flavors that you may select from the day of. Shake and Serve Lemonade offers a 32oz cup (as shown in the flyer) and you can mix and match as many flavors as you would like.
You do not need to pick flavors until the actual day! You DO need to pay for your order in advance. To pay and receive a ticket for the vendor of your choice OR both vendors, please stop by Mrs. Upshaw's class room 221.

Students have completed the Cell Division sequence and quiz. We'll now move on to a short course on viruses and epidemiology, which should take us through the end of the school year!
Students should be monitoring their SchoolMax on a weekly basis if not more frequently.
