There are many opportunities to help out in the early days of September and taking care of this ahead of time will be a great way to make a difference at the school! For instructions and links to the forms, click HERE. If you have any questions, or would like to check to see if your volunteer forms are still valid, please reach out to dsiscoe@jpiihyannis.org (Prep Division)  or mainoffice_hs@jpiihyannis.org (High School Division).

From the Health Office
Please remember to stop in to the Health office to pick up any prescriptions your student may have. Any medications not picked up by the last day of school will be discarded.

A friendly reminder that any student who may have medications during the school day or who may need rescue or emergency medication will need to update the physician’s orders for the next school year. All physicians’ orders must be rewritten for each school year. Asthma Action Plans and  Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Plans also require yearly updates by your physician. If you visit your pediatrician over the summer, be sure to ask for copies for our records for next year.

All prescription medications should be brought to the Health office and must be in the original container with the printed pharmacy labels. This includes EpiPens, Insulin and Glucagon orders, inhalers, and all prescriptions.

For questions, please reach out to Laura Linnell RN, llinnell@jpiihyannis.org or Ellen Byrd RN: ebyrd@jpiihyannis.org
