REMINDERS

Clinic Reminders:

If your student has an allergy, asthma, or other condition that requires medication (EpiPen, Auvi-Q, Benadryl, etc.), please make sure to submit the completed action plan and medication forms to the clinic along with the medication. This is necessary so that we can be prepared for any medical emergency that comes up.
Any student who turns 16 must have an updated 3231 Immunization Form on file showing that they received their 2nd dose of the MCV vaccine. This should be done in the month after the student turns 16.
Your student may bring Tylenol or Motrin (enough for one school day) in his/ her backpack. It must be in the original container with the correct medication label on it.

Please call the clinic with questions (404-636-3023, ext 248) or email mpetersen@spx.org.
