Student Health and Safety is our Priority
At MRCA, our nurses make our students’ health and safety their top priority, partnering with parents and teachers to provide excellent medical care for the MRCA community.
MRCA parents, here are some forms you may need throughout the year. If you have questions about anything health-related, please don’t hesitate to contact one of our nurses.

The Safe Access to Vital Epinephrine (SAVE) Act, recently approved by the South Carolina Legislature, allows school districts to store epinephrine for identified school staff to use in emergencies for students with allergic reactions.
Parents and guardians of students with known allergies should continue to provide an epinephrine prescription for their children. These students will continue to have Allergy Action Plans/IHP developed by the school nurse.
