Important message from Nurse Enid

June 2024

Dear Roosevelt Parents/Guardians

We are near the end of the school year for 2024—it’s time to begin to close out the nurse’s office and let you know what will be needed for the 2024-2025 school year.  As the school nurse there are a few things I’d like to begin putting together now.  

 First, for those who have medication here at school (general daily medication and emergency medication i.e.: epinephrine, albuterol) I would like to give all emergency medication directly to your student beginning the last week of school– please make sure to have your student pick them up before the end of the school day on June 21st as this is my last day in the building.  Any medication not picked up by the end of school, June 21st will be in the school office for you to pick up sometime in the summer or, may need to be discarded.

Second, I am including the medication authorization forms that will be needed by the school nurse by the start of the school year, September 4th for all students who will have medication here at school. Please know that this is a SPS requirement.  If this form (for an emergency medication) is not on file with the nurse the first week of school, your student is at risk from being removed from school.  If your student is participating in any field trip and they have a life-threatening allergy/condition needing emergency medication —they WILL NOT be able to participate in the field trip without this form on file.

• Medication Authorization for: severe allergy, asthma, seizures or general medications (to be given while at school or on a field trip) must be signed by both the parent and by the student’s health care provider.  It must have the name of the drug given, milligram dose, how often to give (i.e.: daily or “as needed” for “headache or, menstrual cramps or, peanut allergy”) It must be signed and dated by the health care provider.  It is valid for the school year (September-June) Medical Authorization Form
  • Asthma Form
  • Allergy/Anaphylaxis Form
• Diabetic Student/Student with seizures:  I will need the care plan that is specific for your student by the first week of school.  If your child is seen at Seattle Childrens, they have a specific care plan that they send to the school.  The fax: 206-252-4811.  Please make it attention: school nurse.

Thank you in advance for your time and attention.  Any questions before the end of school please call—.  Have a great summer.
