FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE

Welcome Back to the 2026–2027 School Year!

Dear Magnolia Families,

Welcome back! I hope you and your family had a wonderful, relaxing summer filled with special moments with family and friends.

As we begin a new school year, I look forward to working with each of you to help ensure a healthy, safe, and successful year for every member of our Magnolia family. Healthy students are better able to learn, grow, and thrive.

Immunization Reminder

Please make sure your child's immunizations are up to date.

• If your child received immunizations over the summer, please send an updated copy of their immunization record to the school nurse.

• All sixth-grade students must have proof of their Tdap and Meningococcal vaccinations before returning to school in September.

• All Kindergarten students require an additional Polio, DTap and MMR which they may have already received at their annual appointment.

Medication at School

If your child requires daily or as-needed medication during the school day:

• Complete and submit the required medication authorization forms, available on the school website.

• All medications must be delivered to school by an adult. Students may not transport medication to or from school.

• If you would like your child to receive Tylenol, Ibuprofen, or Tums (when appropriate), please complete the medication permission section in the annual OnCourse Acknowledgement Forms.

When Should My Child Stay Home?

To help keep our school community healthy, please keep your child home if they are not feeling well.

Students should remain home if they have:

• A fever of 100°F or higher

• They must be fever-free for at least 24 hours without fever-reducing medication before returning to school.

• If your child displays vomiting or diarrhea. We ask that they remain home until symptom free for 24 hours.

Pre-K–1st Grade Families

Please send your child with a complete change of clothes, including:

• Shirt

• Pants/shorts

• Underwear

• Socks

These items will be kept at school in case of an accident.
