Change in TCSD Over-the-Counter Medicine Policy

The Mississippi Department of Education has recently informed schools of a monumental shift in how school nurses are to handle the administration of over-the-counter drugs such as Tylenol, Ibuprofen, and Benadryl. Beginning Monday, October 31, 2022, if you wish for a Tishomingo County School District school nurse to be allowed to give your child an over-the-counter medication, you must have your child’s primary medical provider execute a standing order for your child.

Until the District is in possession of this standing order, our school nurses will not be allowed to give your child any such medication without a parent physically present. We are sorry for the inconvenience. We at TCSD want to respond as quickly as possible so that we can continue to provide the best care for your children.

Provide the form below to your doctor and return to your school nurse:
OTC Standing Order Form.

Attention TCSD Parents/Guardians:

The Universal Free School Meals program introduced in March of 2020 in response to the COVID pandemic was not reauthorized by Congress this past session. Therefore, the USDA program that allowed schools to offer free meals to all students will no longer be available in the 2022-2023 school year. As a result, Tishomingo County School District will be returning to regularly priced meals.

-Full Price Student Meals-

$1.00 for breakfast and $2.50 for lunch.

TCSD wants to encourage all families to complete a meal benefit application. Online school meal benefit applications are now open. The link to apply online is www.schoollunchapp.com . The application can be completed online using a computer or smartphone.

Applications must be completed each school year.

Please complete only one application for your family.

TCSD School Board Approves Free Athletic Pass for Veterans

On Monday night, November 8, the TCSD Board approved a pass for veterans (current and past) for FREE entry into any MHSAA-sanctioned athletic event or activity. A veteran will need to present proof of military service upon application. Any interested veteran can complete the application at any school in the district and will be issued a card. Again, this is at no cost for the veteran. I appreciate our board's desire to give back to those who have sacrificed so much for us. Please share this information with any veteran you know!
