NOTES FROM THE SCHOOL NURSE
Immunizations
All 7th graders are required to have a Tdap immunization before the beginning of the fall school year. Please turn in all updated immunization records to the school nurse once vaccines are administered.
Please note that most children receive their Tdap booster at their 11-year-old well child check with their pediatrician. Make sure to request an immunization certificate at that visit after your child has received their vaccines. At that time, provide a copy to the school nurse. Make a copy for yourself to keep at home as well. Please feel free to email the immunization certificate to swright@lexington1.netMedications

A field trip is considered the same as a regular school day. NO student is allowed to self-carry medication with the exception of emergency medications which require an MD signature. All students needing medication, prescription or over-the-counter, daily and as needed, must have a medication form filled out for each person and brought to the health room for nurses' review the week before the trip, along with the medication. If it is a prescription medication, the doctor has to sign the form. All medication must be in the original container, labeled with the name, only the amount required while gone, and not expired.
About Nurse Wright
My name is Susan Wright. I am the Meadow Glen Middle School School Nurse. I graduated from East Tennessee State University in 1993 with a bachelor of science degree in nursing. Being a part of the Gator family is a true blessing and I feel like I learn something new everyday. I have been happily married for 30 years to John who is retired from the military and works now doing plans and operations at Fort Jackson. It has been a grand adventure being a military spouse for 23 years. Our active duty military life afforded us many opportunities to live in many places to include living in Italy for three years. John and I have 2 children. Levi, our son, who is married to Meredith. Ginny is our daughter and our youngest. All three are previous Lex 1 students with Ginny having been an MGM Gator while both Levi and Ginny being graduates of RBHS.. Meredith is a graduate of LHS but we love her anyway :). I look forward to getting to know the students and families of MGM each year. They bring me joy and I strive to serve them well in their journey in the middle school years.
