Our clinic is staffed by Ms. Mercedes Dyer. Basic first aid services are provided. Please note that our clinic worker is not a registered nurse, thus, only first aid services are provided.

Clinic Procedures

Our clinic staff will administer minor first aid, prescription drugs, and long-term medication. Over-the-counter medication will be administered only when a parent request is furnished in writing for a specific reason and day. When parents bring medications to school, detailed written instructions should be provided along with the medication in the original container. Should your child require long term medication (several weeks to indefinite in length), our clinic staff will dispense mediation only after your doctor has written specific instructions that include the exact dosage to be given. We also require that a document be provided to us giving us permission to administer emergency-type medication for specific known problems, i.e. bee stings.

No prescription or over-the-counter medications (Tylenol, aspirin, Pepto-Bismol, etc.) should be sent to school via the students. According to school bus rules, students are not permitted to have tobacco, alcohol, drugs or any controlled substances (Ritalin, Adderall, etc.) on the bus. The safety of your child as well as other children are the primary consideration behind this rule.

Note: The clinic depends on your donations for supplies such as Band-Aids, first-aid ointment, zip-lock sandwich bags, thermometer covers, and tissues.
