NEWS FROM NURSE BECKY

Dear Parents and Guardians,

We hope this message finds you well! As we move further into the school year, we want to remind families of the importance of having an up-to-date medication authorization form on file for any student who may need medication during the school day.

If your child requires an EpiPen, inhaler, or any other prescribed or over-the-counter medication while at school, we must have the proper documentation completed and signed by both a parent/guardian and the child’s healthcare provider. This ensures we can safely and promptly assist your student in the event of a medical need.

Please note that medications cannot be given at school without a current medication form on file. This includes carrying or self-administering inhalers, EpiPens, or any other type of emergency medication.

Medication forms are available in the school office or can be downloaded from our district website. If you need assistance completing the form or have any questions about your child’s health plan, please don’t hesitate to contact our school nurse.

Thank you for helping us keep all students safe and healthy at school!

Warm regards,

Nurse Becky

School Vaccine Reminder & Reporting

Even though the school year is underway, it’s not too late to make sure your child is up to date on required vaccines. Immunizations such as Tdap and Meningococcal conjugate are required for our 7th graders and are critical for protecting your child and the entire school community from serious diseases.

By law, schools must verify student immunization records or waivers and report them to the Michigan Care Improvement Registry (MCIR). This reporting helps local health departments monitor protection levels and respond quickly if an outbreak occurs. Schools submit reports in November and February to meet state compliance requirements.

Staying up to date on vaccines keeps classrooms safer, reduces the spread of preventable illness, and ensures fewer disruptions to learning.

#HemlockHelps | Supporting the Bommarito Family
Please consider helping a special Hemlock family. Hemlock High School will serve as a donation drop-off site to support Brandon and Brie Bommarito—both HHS graduates—following a very serious motorcycle accident. While there are hopeful signs, their recovery will be long and uncertain. Both have undergone multiple surgeries and face significant injuries. It may be several months before they can fully care for their daughters again.
In the meantime, their girls will be with their aunt and uncle, Nikki and Brian, who are opening their home and hearts during this difficult time.
If you’d like to help, here are meaningful ways to support:
• Drop off donations at Hemlock High School (front office).
• Gift cards are especially helpful (groceries, gas, meals, Target/Walmart).
• Notes of encouragement and prayers for healing are welcome.
• If you represent a business or civic group and want to coordinate a larger donation, please contact the high school office at 989-642-5287.
Thank you for rallying around Brandon, Brie, and their girls. This is what the Huskie Pack does—show up for each other.
