Note: For all medications, emergency or routine, to be administered to a student, both parent permission and physician’s orders must be on file in the health office. Care plans, emergency plans, or actions plans for all medical conditions must be updated every school year. All medications that are required by a student must be provided to the school in the original package, labeled with student’s name.

A receipt of medication delivery will be provided to the parents when medication is received.
WHMS aims to be an allergy-aware community.
Food allergies are increasingly common among children, and managing them can be a challenging task for families. In the interest of keeping all of our students safe and adhering to our values of respecting differences, WHMS has certain policies relating to food allergies.
Please note the following:
- All Toddler and Primary classrooms are nut-free. Please do not send your child to school with any nut or nut products.
- In Lower Elementary, Upper Elementary, and Middle School classrooms, parents are asked to clearly label items in children’s lunches that contain nuts. Some classrooms in the upper levels may be designated as nut-free. Children should never bring any product containing nuts to any program or even in which it will be shared (this includes after care and enrichment).
- All classrooms create routines that include hand washing and table washing before and after snacks and meals.
- Parents of children with food allergies will work together with the school to create an Allergy Action Plan.
More detailed information about allergies in schools as well as WHMS’ policies and practices regarding food allergies may be found in the Parent Handbook on our FACTS Family Portal.
