Reminder:

Please turn in all forms to the office

Susan Fulkerson R.N.

No need to bring in over-the-counter medication

Mrs. Fulkerson is now an employee of the Ohio County Board of Education, rather

than the Green River District Health Department. Because of this change, she can

administer over-the-counter medication as needed by our students IF the students

have returned the consent forms signed by parents/guardians. Please make sure

your children return their medication consent forms so they can receive appropriate

health care while at school.
