Nurses at the CHS Health Center will not be permitted to give students any medication until students have their medical information updated online at myccs.com, according to Carol Gelatt, nurse at the main Health Center.

Students who do not have their medical records updated may receive medication from the Health Center with verbal permission from their parents. However, verbal permission will only be accepted for a limited time, and students will be required to update their records to continue receiving medication.

According to sophomore Sarah Kihn, “I didn’t know that medical registration is now online. I think they should publicize it more. Otherwise, I don’t think anyone would know about it.”

Gelatt reminds students that carrying over-the-counter medicine during school hours is not permitted. Students requiring over-the-counter medicine must have a parent deliver it to the Health Center with a note from a doctor. All medicine must have the original label as well as the name of the pharmacy it was acquired.

Gelatt adds that a few hundred students at CHS still have not received their required vaccinations. Students and parents may contact the Health Center for additional information on vaccinations.
