We have seen spring allergies affecting the eyes , noses and throats of our students this past month ! As we look ahead to more beautiful May blooms , please keep in mind the clinic does not stock routine antihistamines for your children . Please have them take their doses at home or send extra in a labeled bottle to the nurse for the occasion doses are missed at home .
If you have rising kindergartners or 7th graders , or any new-to-CPA siblings for the upcoming school year , please begin to gather your child ’ s Tennessee Immunization Certificate from their pediatrician . As part of a new process , parents will be able to upload these required forms to MyCPA . It is also a great time to schedule a sports physical ! �ank you and stay healthy , Lions !
