END OF YEAR CELEBRATIONS
With the end of the year approaching, we are asking parents to volunteer! We also want to remind parents that in an effort to be eco-friendly, we are asking ALL 7th and 8th graders to bring a reusable bottle filled with water on June 12th. We will be able to refill bottles as needed, but prefer to start out with a full bottle. All of the kids that bring a full reusable water bottle will be given a treat at the beginning of the party! To volunteer, please see the sign-ups below:

Holding a position on the PTA board is seriously THE BEST way to know what is going on in middle school!! You don't need to be a veteran PTA volunteer to be on the board......you just need to have a desire to help our school, our staff, and our children! All parents of rising 8th graders, please consider stepping up! And, EVERYONE, please share our need with parents of rising FMS 7th graders.
Please email us at membership@franklinmiddleschoolpta.org with any questions.

Reminder About Student Medications
The school health room is reminding parents and guardians that all medication stored in the health room must be picked up no later than the student dismissal time on the last day of school. Medication left in the health room after that time will be discarded. It is school policy that medications must be picked up by the parent or guardian. Medication cannot be sent home with your student. However, with parent or guardian permission, a high school student may transport over-the-counter medications to and from the school health room.
Medication authorization forms for next school year may be obtained from the school or online at https://www.fcps.edu/resources/student-safety-and-wellness/school-health-services . A medication authorization form is required for any medication, prescription or over-the-counter, to be kept at school. Please be sure medication orders are clear. All information on the form must be completed. Part I must be signed and dated by the parent or guardian. Part II must be signed and dated by your physician. Over-the-counter medication given for headache, muscle pain, orthodontic pain, or menstrual cramps and antibiotic or anti-viral medication do not need a physician signature. More detailed information is available on the back of the medication authorization form.
Over-the-counter medication must be in the original container and clearly labeled by the parent or guardian. All prescription medication, including physician’s samples, must be labeled by the pharmacist or physician. Please make sure that the label clearly states your student’s name, the name of the medication, the dosage of the medication, and the time interval for administration.
If your child will be enrolled in a summer program sponsored by Fairfax County Public Schools, your existing long-term medication authorization form(s) may be used for the summer program. Please let the health room know if you would like a copy of the form(s).
Your cooperation will ensure that we can safely give your student his or her medication. If you have any questions, please contact your school health room aide Mrs. Donna McAllister, at (703)904-5110, or your school public health nurse, Phoebe Zuo, RN, PHN II, at xzuo@fcps.edu
Thank you for your cooperation and have a good summer!
