The health center reminds students of three tasks they must complete before the end of the school year. According to Carol Gelatt, nurse in the main health center, parents must pick up all medication at the health center by May 2012 or it will be discarded. Additionally, all elevator keys must be turned into the health center by the time of expiration or students will be charged a $10 fee. Parents must also update myCCS accounts with contact information and medical updates.
In addition to these three items, Gelatt said she would like to remind students about Diabetes Awareness Club. The club recently had a guest speaker, Carol Dickson from the American Diabetes Association, and it is also working on a plan to help children in Nepal who lack medical care for their diabetes.
“All are welcomed to come (to Diabetes Awareness Club),” said Gelatt.
