Students needing occational medications for illnesses such as colds, earaches, and sore throats are to take these medications at home if possible. Medication that is prescribed 3 times a day can be given before the student comes to school, after school, and again at bedtime. However, if medication MUST be given at school, it must be personally delivered by the parent to the school office and must be accompanied by a written authorization froma parent/guardian that includes the name of the medication and instructions for its administration (time and dosage). Include a spoon or medicine cup with the medication.Medication must be brought to school in the original container.
Parents/Guardians of students who require long-term medication schould consult with the school's administration for proper procedures. No medication will be administered to any student until all required documentation is submitted.

The Smith County School Board has a lice and nit free policy for our schools. We do a weekly head check. If your child is found to have lice or nits, a parent/guardian will be contacted to pick up the student. Information will be provided concerning how to eliminate the lice or nits. the child then needs to be brought back to shcool for a head check by the principal or school nurse before returning to class. After three absences due to head lice, additional incidents will be considered an unexcused absence.
