|
Medication
time schedules should be set so that, when possible,
medicine is taken at home rather than at school.
However, if medication must be taken at school, the
following procedures apply. |
|
|
|
1. Medication
Authorization Form - The parent/legal guardian must complete
an authorization and instruction form entitled "Authorization
to Give Medication at School." For prescription
medication your physician must also sign the form. A
copy of this form is included in the student handbook.
You may make copies or request additional forms from the
school. The completed form must accompany the
medication, so be sure to take this form to your physician
whenever your child is ill. |
|
|
|
2. The medicine, in the
original container (along with authorization form), must be
taken to the school office/clinic for central storage.
The parent/guardian should take the medication to school;
however, if this is not possible, your child should be
instructed to take the medication and the form directly
to the school office/clinic. Under no circumstances
should medication be shown or shared with other students. |
|
|
|
3. At the designated time,
the student will go to the office/clinic to take the
medication. Assistance/supervision will be given in
accordance with the instructions on the authorization form.
Medication is a parental responsibility; school employees
will not assume any liability for supervising or assisting
in the administration of medicaiton. |
|
|
|
4. Unused medication
should be retrieved from the school office/clinic within one
week after the medication is discontinued; otherwise the
school will dispose of the medication. |
|
|
|
Student Illness/Injury |
|
|
|
Sick students who are contagious
must not be sent to school. When a student becomes ill
at school, the parent must arrange for the student to be
taken home. |
|
|
|
By working
together, we can strive to ensure the health and well-being
of every student so he/she may benefit from the educational
program. |
