MEDICATION REMINDERS FROM THE PARENT HANDBOOK A Shelton Medication Form must be completed for students who take medication at school. Please use this form when sending medication to school and any time there are medication changes. The form can be found on the Shelton website under: Parents →, Medical →, Medication Form or at the link on the blue button below. Here are some reminders: - A parent/guardian MUST bring the medication to the clinic when the medication is started.
- After the medication is started, students in Middle and High School may bring in refills. Students under sixth grade are not permitted to bring medication; it must be brought to the clinic by a parent or another adult. It cannot be sent in the student's backpack.
- All medication must be in a correctly labeled bottle from the pharmacy for prescriptions or the original box for over-the-counter medications.

| SENIOR HANNAH GERSHENSON VOLUNTEERED IN A TWO-YEAR MEDICAL TRIAL Senior Hannah Gershenson, who has Myotonic Dystrophy, a genetic neuromuscular disease that attacks all systems of the body, recently finished her last appointment in a two-year study/trial at Arkansas Children's. She volunteered to participate in the trial. "At first it was double-blind, which means we were unsure if she was getting the medicine or not and then the extension provided her with the medicine for the past year and a half," says her mother, Laura Gershenson, who is an Upper School science teacher at Shelton. "She took it every morning and had to wait two hours afterward to eat. Many of her symptoms went away or lessened which is a big success, but we are unsure how long it will last without the medicine. She may have done the trial for someone else down the road. We are proud of her. There are many drug studies and trials in the pipeline. And so we wait for what will come." Hannah is a member of the American Sign Language club, theatre, choir, B'nai B'rith Youth Organization and the National Honors Society. "You never know what is going on inside," says Hannah. "People only see the outside and should think before they respond." Congratulations to Hannah for her strength and resilience! |
