Start of the school year/Start of new medication

District Medication Forms can be found at  https://www.gocreek.org/page/clinic-staff

If your child needs medication administered during the school day, please note the following:

1. All medications that need to be given during the school day must have a written doctor's order and parent permission. This is required by law.

2. Medication forms are needed for students who carry inhalers. They are kept on file in the nurses' office. Again this is required by state law.

3. Students are not to carry any medications anywhere on school property. Please be sure to arrange for an adult to bring in your child's medications.

 END OF THE SCHOOL YEAR - Please make arrangements to pick up your child's medication by your student's last day. We are unable to store medications during the summer and all remaining medications will be thrown away.

 Any questions?  Please call or email the school nurse.

Ohio Revised Code section 3701.12 and 3313.671 calls for students entering the 7th grade to obtain a tetanus, diphtheria, and acellular pertussis vaccine (Tdap) and Meningococcal (MCV4) vaccine. Therefore, your current sixth grader will need to show proof of having received these vaccines before they return to school in August. Please bring proof of vaccination to your middle school nurse.

Immunizations are also available at the Montgomery County Health Department at minimal or no cost. You may call them at (937)225-5700 for the office hours. Students must be accompanied by a parent or legal guardian.

If your 6th grader gets immunizations while at a doctor's appointment please provide documentation to the school clinic.  Many doctors administer the Tdap and Meningitis immunizations during routine check-ups.

All 7th grade students have a vision screening in late autumn.  Referral letters for students who failed the screenings are mailed home.  Please take the referral letter with you when your child has their eyes examined so the doctor can document the exam for us.  Referral letters may then be returned to the clinic with your child, or can be mailed, faxed, scanned or e-mailed.  Our nurses follow up on all vision referrals, so having the completed referral in your child's health folder at school is essential.  If you have any questions, please contact the clinics.

 If you cannot afford an eye exam and glasses for your child, please know there is help available for these expenses through Prevent Blindness Ohio, the Ohio Optometric Association, and the Lions Club. Contact the clinic at 458-2533 or e-mail Email: coyclinic@gocreek.org for information on accessing these programs.
