• Clinic Hours: 7:45 am - 2:15 pm 

Margaret Winn Holt Elementary School provides limited health services to our students. First aid will be administered in the clinic, but medication can only be given if the parent brings the medication to the clinic and fills out a medication administration form. Students cannot transport medication. Asthma inhalers and epi-pens are the only exceptions with a physician’s note requesting the student carry it. When your child is vomiting or running a temperature of 100.3 or higher, please do not send him or her to school until they are symptom free for 24 hours without fever reducing medication. 

Parents will be called if students are too sick to remain in school, if they are seriously injured, if they are running a temperature of 100.3 degrees or higher, vomiting, or if we believe your child needs further medical attention. 

Student Allergies: If your student has any health threatening allergies that the school needs to be aware of, please contact your child’s teacher to make him/her aware and contact our school clinic to share this information. The direct number to the clinic is 678-376-8607. 

Returning to School after an Illness: Once your child is well enough to return to school, please send in a note to their teacher indicating that they were ill so that we can mark the absence “excused.” 

Administration of Medication at School

For the safety of all students at our school, the following guidelines should be followed when requesting administration of medications at school:

• Only those medications required during school hours should be administered at school. Please check with your physician regarding the need for medications to be administered during school hours. 
• All medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, must be accompanied by a completed Administration of Medication Request form (provided from the school) and brought to the school clinic by an adult. Students may not transport medications to school. 
• All medications must be in an original child-proof container. Prescription medications must be in their labeled prescription bottle. School staff will only administer medication according to the directions on the label. 
• Any medications remaining at the end of the school year must be picked up or school staff will dispose of them. 
• Students may only carry medication as prescribed by law with the required documentation. Please check with our school clinic worker if your child needs to carry emergency medications with them.
