*Alert: please read if your child has a chronic health condition and/or may need to take a medication during school hours.*
Don't forget to have your child's care plan completed and signed by a physician over the summer! Starting the school year with a plan and medication already in place is the best way to ensure a smooth, healthy beginning to a new year! All necessary forms may be found on the page labeled "Beginning of Year Information and Forms" above, or on FCBOE.org on the School Health Services Department page.
Please read the clinic policy page carefully, especially noting the section I have copied below.

Please alert the clinic to any allergies your child may have!
IF YOUR CHILD HAS A KNOWN FOOD ALLERGY PLEASE MAKE SURE THAT WE ARE
AWARE OF IT.
A HEALTH CARE PLAN OR A SIGNED LETTER FROM THE DOCTOR STATING THE ALLERGY AND PRECAUTIONS IS NEEDED TO ENSURE THE HEALTH & WELL-BEING OF YOUR CHILD. AN UPDATED FOOD ALLERGY LIST IS SUPPLIED TO THE CAFETERIA & TEACHERS AS NEEDED. IF YOUR CHILD CANNOT DRINK MILK, AN ALLERGY CARE PLAN MUST BE ON FILE TO PREVENT HAVING MILK PLACED ON YOUR CHILD'S TRAY!
Fayette County strongly discourages bringing in food items to celebrate a child's birthday. Instead, consider buying ice cream passes for your child's class or bringing in non-food items such as pencils, erasers, etc.
Please protect your child and classmates by only bringing "safe" foods to share during class party celebrations. All foods brought to school should be store bought, not homemade, and from the list of Safe Snacks below:
