A friendly reminder from your school nurse: "It has been a pleasure taking care of your child this school year! We ask that all medications in the nurse's office get picked up by an adult no later than May 25, 2023. For safety reasons, medication will not be sent home with students. Any medication not picked up by May 25 will be discarded so that we can prepare the office for the next school year. If you child has rescue medications in the nurse's office and plans on attending Summer School, please give me a call at school. We hope everyone has a happy and healthy Summer break!"
Incoming Freshman for the 23-24 school year will have the opportunity to take their Health and PE classes over the summer to open up room in their schedule if they meet eligibility requirements. If interested please register at the following link:

Dear Parents and Guardians:
Fentanyl is quickly becoming a threat in our community and across our state and nation. Our community is experiencing a rise of overdose and exposure cases impacting young teens, as well as adults. Two of our community members have designed age-appropriate educational programming to bring awareness to these dangers in an effort to educate students and save lives. This educational presentation titled “Tough Talks” is part of our drug awareness curriculum and focuses on two primary objectives:
1. Fentanyl awareness and drug prevention
2. Drug accessibility dangers
Two of our community’s Emergency Medical Service (EMS) professionals, Stephan Parrott and Michael LaSala, are trained to present this program and possess the skills to speak to our area students as they raise awareness regarding the dangers of fentanyl and drug use. Stephan and Michael are first responders in our community that see first-hand fentanyl’s lethal effects. They are passionate about using this age-appropriate educational presentation to inform our students and promote positive decision-making among our youth. Please review the description and details of the “Tough Talks'' presentation below:
Date: April 26, 2023
Topic: Drug Awareness
Details: Fentanyl has become increasingly prevalent across our community, state and nation. This presentation will focus on fentanyl, its presence in recreational drugs, and its accessibility to teenagers. At the end of the presentation, there will be time for a question and answer period with the presenter.

Stephan Parrott
EMT
Med Center Health, Field Supervisor
