prescription medication.
Every effort should be made to schedule medication outside of
school. When this is not possible or your child should require
prescription medication at school the following guidelines shall be
implemented. Please read carefully.
For prescription medication: A signed doctor's order with
the instructions for dispensing the medication is required. Click here
for form. The entire form MUST be filled out by the prescribing
doctor. A separate form is needed for each medication.
For prescription medication, the label should also contain the
name of the medication, date prescribed, and the name of the prescribing
physician. The pharmacist should be asked at the time the original
prescription is filled for an extra small container appropriately labeled with
this information.
All medications will be kept and distributed by the school
nurse. For the safety of all the children no medication should be brought
to school unless it is to be given during the school day by the school nurse or
designee. A parent or guardian should bring the medication to the Health
Office between 9AM-2PM or main office before 9AM.
The Health Office must be made aware of any instances where an
exception may need to be made and the child needs to keep a medication with them
at all times (for example, epi-pens, inhalers). This information will be
documented and kept on file in the Health Office. It is recommended
that a second inhaler or epi-pen be kept at the Health Office in case of
emergencies. For the well-being and safety of all the children your
cooperation is appreciated.
