Pasta Dinner

No dinner plans this Friday evening? Why not head over to Liberty High School for an all-you-care-to-eat pasta dinner?  We promise delicious food at a great price, and you’ll be helping the Olentangy Liberty High School Marching Band with their fund-raising efforts toward their trip to London this coming New Year! Hope to see you there!

Notes from the School Nurse

If your child has medication left in the clinic, please pick it up prior to the summer break. Medication will be disposed of during June if prior arrangements are not made with clinic personnel.

 As a reminder, new medication forms are required every school year. A physician’s written order is required for any prescription medication at school, whether it is administered in the clinic or self-administered by the student. Middle and high school students are permitted to carry and self-administer non-prescription medication with a signed parent consent form. A physician’s form is required for non-prescription medication for elementary students. Forms are available on the school website at www.olentangy.k12.oh.us. Click on School Nurses/Health Services, then Health Services Forms, and click on the appropriate form.

  If your child requires diabetic care, an inhaler, and/or emergency treatment for an allergy, you may also access the forms online at the same location. School personnel are not permitted to give expired medication; therefore, be aware of the expiration dates of all medication.

 Please contact the school office or clinic staff if you have any questions.
