Dear Parent or Guardian: The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school. Medication left in the health room after that time will be destroyed. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student. If your student will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, the existing medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program, but you will need to pickup the medication on the last day of school and deliver the medication and completed forms to the summer learning site on the first day of the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).
Estimado/a padre/madre/tutor legal: La enfermería de la escuela les recuerda a los padres y tutores legales que todo medicamento que hayan dejado en la enfermería debe recogerse a más tardar a la hora de salida de los alumnos el último día de clases. Todos los medicamentos que queden en la enfermería después de esa hora serán destruidos. La política escolar estipula que uno de los padres o el tutor legal debe recoger todo medicamento que haya dejado en la enfermería. No podemos enviar a casa ningún medicamento con su hijo/a. Si su hijo/a va a estar matriculado en un programa de verano patrocinado por las Escuelas Públicas del Condado de Fairfax, se pueden usar los mismos formularios de autorización existentes para el programa, pero usted deberá recoger la medicación el último día de clases y entregar la medicación y los formularios completados en el lugar donde se imparte el curso de verano el primer día del programa de verano. Por favor, avise a la enfermería si desea una copia de los formularios
