From The Health Room:
  • Please see the attachment regarding Athletic Sports Physicals through Aurora Sports Health and mark the dates on your calendar. Sport physicals through Aurora Sports Health on these dates are only $15.00.
  • As the school year wraps up, please be aware that any medications in the health office must be picked up by a parent or guardian by June 7th.  After June 7th, the medication will be available for pick up at the District Office through the District Nurse.  After June 21st, all medications will be disposed of in accordance with health safety guidelines.  Medications will not be sent home with a student. Emergency medications (inhalers, epi-pens & glucagon) will be the only exception to this rule. The Karcher Health Office Hours are: 7:00am – 300pm.
  • Please remember that if your child requires medication for the upcoming 2019-2020 school year, that a new medication administration consent form will be required before medications can be administered.  This is for both over-the-counter and prescription medication. Prescription medication and alternative/complementary forms of treatment do require a MD / PA / NPAP signature. Forms can be downloaded from the District website or picked up in your child’s school office.  All morning medications should be administered to the child at home BEFORE they arrive to school. This prevents the need for controlled substance delivery between school and home and ensures that any necessary benefit of the medication is in your child’s system so they are ready to start their 1st hour class upon arrival.  Please feel free to contact Jessica Polcyn, Director of Health Services for any questions on medication use in the school (262) 763-0214 ext: 203
