Meeting Notes, 2022.03.03
The most frequently asked question during this meeting was about vaccination status/testing procedures. We have update the [Covid Protocols] page with all of the necessary steps and information you will need to complete the State of Hawaii Safe Travels program requirements.
Medication
Should a student have a prescription medication that will be administered on our trip, complete the WHS REQUEST TO ADMINISTER MEDICATION. There are specific guidelines listed in this document – if you have questions, please direct them via email to our school nurse, rebecca_giguere@roundrockisd.org.
Medication should be turned in to the choir portable, 909, on Wednesday morning, March 9.
