Health Room
A
Note from the Nurse
Dear Brushy Creek Families.. Welcome back to the 2011-2012 school year. I am looking forward to seeing all of you on the first day of school. Parents- please remember if your child needs to have a prescription medication given at school that a Doctor and Parent Authorization form must be completed before the medication can be kept and/or used at school. No medications will be accepted without these forms per Greenville County School District Guidelines. PLEASE REMEMBER STUDENTS ARE NOT PERMITTED TO CARRY MEDICINE TO SCHOOL PER GREENVILLE COUNTY SCHOOLS GUIDELINES. If you need my assistance please leave a message for me at 355-5407 and I will be glad to help you. Thanks and see you soon! ~~Ms. Davies, RN- Brushy Creek Elementary School
