    3. Prescription medication requires medical label with orders clearly spelled out
    4. Medications on field trips are handled by teachers

    FALL SCREENINGS:

    1. Scoliosis screenings for 5th graders looking for abnormal growing curves of the back.  Parents will be notified if abnormalities are found.

    3. I have a free resource for vision if you have insurance concerns.  Please contact me.
