Medical Forms Needed

For Your Child(ren)'s Health

Your child(ren)'s health is very important to us. As a reminder, it is our policy that this form is REQUIRED to be updated each year to ensure we have the most current medical information for your child(ren) on file. If your child needs to take medication at school (even if that medication is over-the-counter), a doctor's note and the Consent Form linked below are required. If your child is NOT going to need any medication at school, then only the Medical History Form is required. If you previously completed the form, you should have received a confirmation email that it was submitted.

Please join us in praying for the repose of the soul of Fr. Martin Gillespie. We were blessed to know Fr. Gillespie through his relatives who are parishioners at Corpus Christi. Fr. Gillespie was also known to celebrate Mass for our Corpus Christi Catholic School students from time to time and they especially loved when he would visit our classrooms. He was friendly and kind to all he met and we are grateful to have known him. Our hearts are with Fr. Gillespie's parishioners at St. Mary Parish in Biloxi who are grieving this sudden loss.

Eternal rest grant unto him, O Lord, and let perpetual light shine upon him. May his soul, and the souls of all the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. Amen.
