Medication
If your child needs to take daily or as needed medication at school here is what you need to bring when dropping off the medicine:
The medication in the original box with the pharmacy label (check expiration dates.)
Forms signed by your doctor and parent: Please click on the links under FORMS.
Remember, for the safety of all children at school, students may NOT carry any medicine (even cough drops) with them while on school grounds. Medication CANNOT be brought to school by your child, a parent is required for dropping off any kind of medicine.
IT IS IMPORTANT to notify the nurse if your child has any allergies or other medical changes that arise during the school year.
Immunizations
A student must be fully immunized or must present a certificate or statement siting that for medical reasons or reasons of conscience, including a religious belief, the student will not be immunized.

Illness
To ensure the health and safety of all students, any students who exhibits vomiting, diarrhea, or a fever >100.0 F must be excluded from school. Students may return to school as follows:
Free of fever (<100.0F) for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medications such as acetaminophen (Tylenol) or ibuprofen (Advil/Motrin).

Injury/Surgery
If they have been injured or has had any surgery recently and must refrain from strenuous physical activity, it is the parent's responsibility to send a note to school to excuse the child from PE and/or recess. Please have form filled out by a physician and turned in to the school nurse.
Change of Clothes
Please pack an extra set of clothing, including underwear and socks, in a plastic bag for your child in their backpack. It is comforting to have your own clothes in case of an accident.
Also, please note that flat, closed-toe shoes with Velcro or lace up are much safer than sandals and flip flops and help to prevent injuries.
Lice
It is a good habit to check your children regularly for lice. Encourage your child not to share combs, brushes, hair decorations or hats. Per G.P.I.S.D. handbook, students with live lice or signs of active infestation will be excluded from school. Students who have been sent home should receive prompt treatment for lice and expected to return to school the following day, free of live organisms. If head lice are found, the hair must be treated before the child returns to school on the following day. Upon return to school, the student and parent/guardian must report directly to the school nurse, provide information about the treatment utilized and have the student’s hair checked before reporting to class. Chronic cases and instances of non-treatment will result in unexcused absences.
Healthy Eating
Please encourage your child to start each day with a healthy breakfast. Look at the lunch menu with your child and encourage healthy choices. In response to the increase in the number of children diagnosed with food allergies, students may not share food at school. Parents please take consideration when packing lunch for student that other students in the class or grade may have certain food allergies. Common food allergies are nuts (peanuts-including peanut butter, almonds pecans, etc.), seafood (shrimp, crawfish, fish), egg (including ingredients containing eggs such as baked goods like cake/cupcakes and cookies), soy (such as soy milk or soy sauce), and milk.
Adequate Sleep
Adequate sleep contributes to a student’s overall health and well-being. Children who do not get enough sleep have a higher risk for many health issues. The CDC recommends children from 6–12 years get 9 to 12 hours per 24 hours. Please click link for more information. https://www.cdc.gov/healthyschools/sleep.htm
Physical Activity
