Important Clinic Information
New for the 2026–2027 School Year
Ohio law now requires a physician-signed Statement of Prescriber before school staff may administer any medication, including over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol, Motrin/Advil (ibuprofen), Tums, Benadryl, allergy medications, cough drops, or other non-prescription medications.
This is a change from previous years. In the past, many over-the-counter medications could be administered with parent permission alone. Beginning this school year, a physician-signed Statement of Prescriber is required before any prescription or over-the-counter medication can be given during the school day.
Medication must still be delivered to the school by an adult in its original container with the pharmacy label attached (when applicable).
Statement of Prescriber forms are available:
· In any school clinic
· By contacting your child's building nurse, who can email a copy upon request
For medication questions or to request a form, please contact:
· Nicole Loerch (Pre-K–Grade 4) – loerchn@perry-lake.org
· Susie McKoon (Grades 5–12) – mckoons@perry-lake.org
Please complete the following before the first day of school:
Complete your student's Annual Update in Parent Portal by selecting More → Annual Update. This updates emergency contacts and medical information and provides permission for field trips. If you need assistance accessing Parent Portal, please contact Ann Aucelli at aucellia@perry-lake.org.
Submit updated immunization records. Immunization records are required for all preschool, kindergarten, and new students by the first day of school. Seventh-grade students must have Tdap and Meningococcal vaccinations, and 12th-grade students must have the required Meningococcal vaccination before school begins.
