Godwin MS is participating in the School Walk for Diabetes.  Students enjoyed a presentation by the American Diabetic Association on 11/13.  On 11/23 & 11/24 they will walk during PE class.  Our goal is to increase awareness of Diabetes & to encourage healthy eating habits & exercise.  Please consider donating to our cause. Our goal is to have all students & staff donate at least $1.00.  You can send money in through your student or join out team online:

All 7th graders were screened for vision & hearing on 11/4 & 11/5.  Letters will be sent home if a student failed either screening. 

School personnel can not administer ANY medication until a form, signed by the parent is on file in the clinic.  All prescription medication must also have a physician’s signature on the form before a prescription medication can be administered.  Parents must personally deliver prescription medications and signed forms to the school nurse.

ALL medication;  prescription and over-the-counter (i.e., Tylenol, Advil, Cough Drops, etc.) need a signed medical form prior to being brought to the school.  It also MUST be in the original container and kept in the clinic. It should be in small amounts because storage space is very limited.  Over the counter medicine should be age appropriate for the student.
