End of Year Medication Pickup
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 (June 10). 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, at 703-924-4510, or your school public health nurse at 703-704-6128. Thank you for your cooperation and have a good summer.
For Our Military Families
Check our website to see how we celebrated our military students last week:
“Month of the Military Child” - I hope our Military Students have enjoyed our HES activities this month in celebration of “Month of the Military Child”. Military students have been featured in their classrooms and through various military themed displays and artwork decorating our hallways. “Purple Up for Military Kids Day” was a great success. Many HES students, teachers, and staff proudly wore their purple and purple shirts to support and honor military kids. Check out the HES website for a slideshow of highlights. HES military students were also presented with a “Certificate of Recognition” from FCPS Superintendent Scott S. Brabrand, “in honor of their service as military connected students to their school, community, and nation”.
Virginia Distinguished Purple Star School – Hayfield Elementary School
Hayfield Elementary School is proud to announce that it is a “Virginia Distinguished Purple Star School”. Hayfield Elementary School initially received its first “Purple Star” award in 2019 and it continues to be a “Purple Star School” today. The Virginia Department of Education awards the prestigious “Purple Star Designation” to military-friendly schools that have demonstrated a major commitment to meeting the unique educational and social emotional needs of students and families connected to our nation's military.
Military Appreciation Month - May is “Military Appreciation Month” which honors everyone who has served in a branch of the U.S. military and reminds us that we owe many of our freedoms to the sacrifices made by military personnel.
