Thanksgiving Monday (Statutory Holiday

Please email your teacher and the office (info@waldorfacademy.org) let us know if your child will not attend

for any reason, including illness, as it will allow the program to continue with the planned activities. Staff will not be waiting unnecessarily for your child’s arrival.

Administration of Medication

Written parental permission is required for the administration of any medication including one that has been prescribed by a physician. This form is available from the program teacher. Medication must be in the original container on which must be clearly legible the name of the medication, the amount of medication to be administered and the time medication is to be given. It must also clearly state that it is prescribed to your child (by name). Be assured that any medication is stored in a locked box out of reach of children and is refrigerated if necessary.

Please be sure to take your child’s medication home with you at the end of the day.

Staff will only administer medication that can be applied to the skin or given by mouth, with the exception of anaphylactic shock. In that case, the staff will administer the required Epi pen.
