If your son or daughter has Special Dietary Needs contact Mary Jo Shelton, head cook at LES. Special dietary needs cannot be accommodated until the parent/guardian obtains a doctor’s note that provides a list of foods the student must omit from the diet and a list of approved substitutions including milk and peanut butter.
When calling to notify the school of your child's absence, please let the nurses know if your child has been diagnosed with communicable diseases such as strep throat, head lice, influenza, pinkeye, ringworm, impetigo, or chickenpox, etc.

All over the counter medications must come to the nurse’s office in the original labeled container accompanied by a note from the Parent/guardian specifying the medication, dose and time to be given. Please only send enough cough drops for one day at a time.
Prescription medications must be brought to school by a parent. The medication must come to school in the current prescription bottle with your child's name, name of the medication, amount of medicine to be given, and time that it should be given. (When you get prescriptions filled you can ask the pharmacist to divide the medication into two labeled containers. One for home and one for school. Parents and the physician need to complete Prescription Medication Form before the medication can be given at school.
State law requires a written emergency care plan from the prescribing physician and parent/guardian for medical conditions such as Asthma, Diabetes and Anaphylaxis (severe allergic reactions to bee stings, peanuts, milk etc.) This pertains to those students who are prescribed asthma inhalers, insulin (written doctor order only), or epi-pens.
