The Countdown to Washington, DC 2014 is on!

Important Reminders
 
  • All medication must be turned into the nurse’s office by a parent or guardian no later than today (Thursday, April 3rd.)  
    • All medication must be in the original container bearing a pharmacy label that shows the prescription number, date filled, physicians name, medication name and directions for use.  All prescription labels must match the doctor’s orders submitted on the health form EXACTLY!  If your label does not match the order, please call your child’s doctor or pharmacy to rectify as soon as possible.
    • Additionally, non-prescription medications must be in their original containers also with directions for use. 
 
  • TONIGHT, (Thursday, April 3rd) at 6pm we will hold a last minute parent information session. This opportunity is available to answer any questions, receive a finalized itinerary and packing lists, and help ease any travel worries you might have.  You may also drop medicine off at this meeting (* see bullet above).
 
  • Students will receive all travel materials (i.e., lanyards, backpacks, luggage tags) as well as bus and rooming assignments on Friday, April 4th. 
 
  • Please retain enough doses of your child’s medication at home to last through the morning of Monday April 7th.   The morning of the trip, please administer your child’s morning medication AT HOME.   There will be no time or opportunity to administer medications on the bus ride to DC.

  • Please pick up any unused medication or prescription bottles from the nurse the evening the student’s arrive home from DC.
