Please contact Mrs. Dufek if you have any questions. New Policy for Student Health Forms Required physical exams for 2011-2012 may be completed any time before Sunday, July 3, 2011, with health forms due to Holton by Saturday, July 30, 2011. As a convenience, Holton will be offering a clinic to complete health forms (including health forms for siblings for camp, school or college) with our own school physician on Friday, June 10, from 8-10 a.m., for a fee of $70. Please call the main number (301-365-5300) to schedule an appointment or for more information. Medications on Campus Just a reminder that students may not carry or possess any medication—prescription, over-the-counter or herbal/alternative—while at school. If your daughter needs a medication during the day that is not one of those noted on her Holton medical form, the medication needs to be kept in its original packaging (with directions) and needs to be brought to Mrs. Poon or the school nurse. Baggies filled with miscellaneous pills are not permissible, for the safety of all, and to obey the laws of Maryland. Safety First We are delighted our students are arriving to school on time, but please slow down and pay particular attention to our security staff who keep our girls safe and traffic under control. As a reminder, do not drive on the emergency lane, heading west on River Road, toward the entrance of the school. Cars are waiting patiently for the right turn lane to open and may not anticipate a car coming behind from the emergency lane. We also urge parents not to use the service/construction road to access or leave the Lower School. (return to top) |
