Administration of Medications Policy:  We would like to inform you of the policies that have been put in place to ensure the health and safety of children needing medication, (including over-the-counter meds, such as Tylenol) during the school day. Our school district requires that the following forms be on file in your child's health record before we begin to give any medication at school

1.       Signed consent by the parent or guardian to give medicine.

2.       Signed Medication Record.

You or a responsible adult whom you designate should deliver medications to the school in a pharmacy or manufacturer labeled container. Please ask your pharmacy to provide separate bottles for school and at home.  No more than a thirty-day supply of medicine should be delivered to the school.

Students will not be allowed to transport medications of any kind to and from school.

*When your child needs medication to be administered during the school day, please act quickly to follow these policies so we may begin to give the medication as soon as possible.  You will need to stop at the school's main office to pick up the necessary forms.

It is recommended that you have nothing less than a TI-30XIIS™ or Casio FX-300ES PLUS which will cost $12.00-$15.00.  If you have any questions please reach out to Carly.Sternhagen@k12.sd.us or Lorie.Lehr@k12.sd.us.

Child Find Notice:  The Menno School District is required by law and conscience to provide appropriate educational opportunities for all children, regardless of their special needs.  In light of this, Mr. Kory Foss of the Menno School District announces that the district is conducting an annual "Child Find" Search to identify and evaluate all district children under 21 who may not be receiving appropriate educational opportunities.

Mr. Kory Foss, of the Menno School District, has been named Child Find Coordinator.

Persons who know of a child in this school district with inappropriate or unserved education needs may give the child's name to Mr. Foss at 387-5161.  After obtaining parental consent, the district will conduct an evaluation of the child's needs and determine their educational needs.

Mr. Foss stresses that parents are not expected to be able to diagnose a child's difficulty before they ask for help.  He also said, "It is the philosophy of the Menno School District to see that every child, regardless of their special needs, may develop to their fullest potential."

Dangerous Weapons In The School Policy:  On August 12, 1996, the Menno School Board officially adopted this policy.  A copy of this policy is included in the student handbook that is found on the school website.  Please take time to discuss this policy with your children.
