    Dear Stix Families,

    I am Candace Barry.  I will be the School Nurse at Stix ECC and would like to welcome all the students and parents. I look forward to taking care of your child for the 2022-2023 school year. To ensure your child’s health and safety, I would like to share some information with you.

    Medications

    ·         If your child will need to take prescribed or over-the-counter medication at school click here to see required documents.

    ·         NO child is to carry PRESCRIPTION OR OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATIONS to school. An adult will be asked to pick up the medication.

    ·         If you administer medication to your child before he/she comes to school, which could affect their performance, please send a note to the teacher.

    Screening
