Free Sports Physical - Saturday, July 12th

This is the last opportunity for a free sports physical. Deaconess Health will be set up in the WC Annex from 8-Noon on Saturday, July 12th.

Over-the-Counter Medicine Policy

The state legislature and the Kentucky Department of Education have passed several measures that require new or updated policies for school districts. This policy notification addresses a policy update issued by the KY Department of Education regarding the administration of over-the-counter (OTC) medications in all school settings.

Effective with the 2025–2026 school year, OTC medications, such as ibuprofen, acetaminophen, antacids, or cough drops, may not be administered to students unless the school has:

A written order from a licensed medical provider, and
A signed consent form from a parent or guardian.

This statewide regulation is part of an ongoing initiative to enhance student safety and standardize health procedures across Kentucky schools.

Additionally, no more than a 30-day supply of any medication may be delivered to the school at a time. Due to limited secure storage space, large bulk containers (such as 200-count bottles of Tylenol) will not be accepted.

The required Medication Permission Form is available online and can be accessed through the ParentSquare links. The form must include both the healthcare provider’s signature and the parent or guardian’s signature.

Parents and guardians are encouraged to discuss this new requirement with their child’s healthcare provider during upcoming visits. Order/consent forms need to be completed for both OTC and RX medications.

SB 181 Traceable Communication Update

Due to a new state law, there are restrictions on how school district personnel are allowed to communicate using digital platforms. Strong communication between home and school is vital, and we are pleased to have already implemented ParentSquare to support this effort.

Most login issues for the Parent/StudentSquare app are due to a problem with the phone number or email address in Infinite Campus. ParentSquare syncs nightly with Infinite Campus, so if a user's number or email changes, it may cause a login issue. If your account needs to be revised, please submit this quick form: https://forms.gle/J2eBQsmmuVhYyPSA8

There are many layers to this new law, and we are working to provide clear guidance to all families and staff before the start of the 2025-26 school year. Please visit our traceable communication page at https://www.webster.kyschools.us/traceablecommunication for more information.
