The Alabama Certificate of Immunization "blue form" is required for entry into public school. Also, it is required for reentry into the school each fall. Even if your child has been attending school, if the blue form is expired they cannot be allowed to reenter each fall. I will send notification of all "blue forms" that will be expiring now and over the summer. If you recieve a letter notifying you of expiration, you will need to see your doctor, or Public Health Department, for required immunizations, and an updated slip. You must bring this updated slip, prior to school start. Any student not providing the updated information, will not be allowed to pick up their new schedule. All students through grade 8, will have to show proof of having Chicken pox vaccine, having disease, or a titer. This will be shown on the "blue slip" Feel free to call me for any questions.

Dear Parent/Guardians:
According to State and School Policy, I am unable to keep medications, from one school year to the next. Therefore, I must have you pick up medications at the end of the school year. These must be picked up by an adult. Any medications that are not picked up, by the end of school will be destroyed. Thank you for your cooperation.

Welcome Students and Parents:

I am Sharon Owen,RN, the school nurse for MJHS/MHS. My office is located in the Junior High School. I am here full time 7:30-3:30. My office phone number is 640-2044. My email address is Sharon.Owen@sccboe.org. Please feel free to contact me concerning any medical needs your child has a chronic condition such as Diabetes, Asthma, or siezures.

My goal is to keep your student in school so that they may learn. Sometimes children will get sick anyway. The best thing you can do is to keep children home when they are sick. this will stop the spread of illness to other children and teachers.

Please keep your child home when they have any of the following symptoms:
1. Fever of 100.5 or higher. Children should stay home until they have been without fever for at least
24 hours. Children should not be given Tylenol or Advil to reduce the fever and then sent to
school. The child may be highly contagious.
2. Nausea or vomitin within the last 12 hours.
3. Severe headache.
4. Red, watery eyes with yellow drainage.
5. Unexplained rash.
If your child experiences any of these symptoms, at school they will be sent home.

If your child needs medication at school. You must bring in the medication in the original bottle, with a signed medication form. You may find that form on this web site. Just remember if you don't bring the medication and the signed form, then I can't give it.
