The South Carolina Boards of Medical Examiners, Nursing and Pharmacy approved and adopted the recommendation that school nurses may administer over the counter medications with parental consent and without physician consent. Therefore, if your child requires over the counter medication at school, please either visit the school webpage (click the "Non-Prescription" links below) or contact the school nurse to request a copy of the appropriate form.  This form must be completed before the school nurse will be able to administer any over the counter medication.  Please be reminded that all over the counter medication must be sent from home (specific to each student) in its original container and it must be labeled with the student's name. 

Medication should be taken at home and administered by a parent whenever possible.  However, there are times that it is necessary for students to take medications at school.  Prior to medications being administered at school, the school nurse must have the proper paperwork on file.  If the medication is a prescription medication, the paperwork MUST be completed and signed by the student's health care provider and the student's parent/legal guardian.  

You can find any required forms in the button below

All students must have a valid immunization record to attend school.  All students with incomplete certificates will be excluded from school.

All children attending school must have a South Carolina Certificate of Immunization.  This certificate must be brought to the school within 30 days of your child starting school.  No exceptions are made to this per South Carolina State Law. This certificate can be obtained from your child’s physician or from a county health department. Upon bringing an immunization certificate to the school, the school nurse will review the number of vaccines and dates given.  If the received vaccines do not meet the state requirement, you will be notified and an updated certificate will be required.  A list of the required immunizations can be found  under "important health forms" or on the district site under "parents, then health forms".  Please note: 3K and 4K is considered day-care according to DHEC and is listed separate from the school list.

There may be times when your child is sick and doesn’t need to attend school. South Carolina Department of Health and Environmental Control (DHEC) has developed an exclusion list of illnesses when a child must be kept out of school. The list includes length of exclusion and if physician follow-up and medical note is required before a student may return to school. The exclusion list may be found under "important health forms". Please note K4 is considered day-care, according to DHEC, and is listed separately from the school list. If you have any questions, contact the school nurse.

If you have questions about any of the above information, contact the school nurse at the phone 864-850-5950.
