MEDICATIONS
A couple of reminders:
- We must follow the manufacturer’s instructions on over the counter medications unless a provider has provided orders for specific administration instructions.
- It has been our practice in Bend-La Pine Schools that all prescription medications need to have a specific administration time indicated on the prescription bottle. Otherwise, a provider note is needed for any changes.

SUMMER PROGRAM INFORMATION
From Cynthia:
Hello Nurses, I’ve worked with CampFire the past two years to help some of my students attend day camp. This year I’ve compiled the information so you, too, can refer some of your families.
More information can be found here. Nadia Kelem, Outreach Coordinator, recommended that each nurse refer no more than two families that they know would need financial assistance and possibly transportation to camp. When a nurse, or community partner, completes the referral form a family(see attached), then the parent does not need to provide supporting documentation for financial need. In addition, be sure parents and student(s) are interested in attending before you submit a referral (see attached handout). There is no firm deadline for registration as it is a rolling registration. However, to be more likely to receive financial assistance and a spot, it’s recommended that parents register by June 3.
If parents have questions about registration, please have them reach out to CampFire at (541) 382-4682.
If you have questions, please reach out to Nadia directly at (541) 362 – 1596 (call or text) [email protected] ***Do not give this information to families. This is for you only so you can quickly and easily get your question answered. For families, they like the family to be connected to the organization as a whole.
