Welcome Back to KCC!

With summer winding down and as leaves start to turn, the excitement is building for the first day of school! We cannot wait to have the building buzzing again with staff and children! Right now is a great time to start to get back into school schedules and routines too. Check out this article for some good suggestions on stress free mornings. When students arrive, staff will be greeting students and assisting students to their classrooms. We cannot wait to see you.

Go Falcons!

Health Office

Welcome Back to a GREAT school year. The health office is available to provide first aid and emergency care and illness assessment as needed. Illnesses occurring during the school day will be evaluated, and the student will either be sent home or allowed to rest in the health office and then return to class at the discretion of the school nurse. If you wish to be notified each time your child visits the health office please send in a written note requesting this so all staff will be made aware of this request. Please send your child to school with a change of clothing including underwear and socks in their backpack. In order to ensure health and safety, it is important to follow the guidelines and protocols noted below. If your child requires medications/treatments during school hours, it is necessary to remember the following as noted in the student/parent handbook:

• Physician medication orders and parent consent forms need  to be renewed and submitted each school year.  Medications given last year are not given this year without these forms.

• Medications must be in the original container with the medication name and current date for each medication.

• You must sign and complete a parent consent form for each medication.

• You must provide a signed doctor’s order form for each medication.

• Medications must be delivered by an adult to school to the health office. These procedures also include all over the counter medications. Please email me to arrange for a drop off time. I will also be present at the PK/K orientation night 8/31/22 from 4:00 PM - 6:00 PM.

Please feel free to stop by or contact the health office at (508)539-1520 ext. 104 or e-mail: sschakel@mpspk12.org. I look forward to working with you this year. Please also remember to email KCCattendance@mpspk12.org by 9:00 AM every time your child is absent with the reason for absence. If your child is sick please keep them home until they are 24 hrs without symptoms/fever free for 24 hrs without fever reducing medication or cleared by their primary care physician.
