MEDICATIONS
School
personnel cannot administer ANY medication until a form, signed by the
parent is on file in the clinic of the school.
All prescription medication must also have a physician’s
signature.
ALL
medication, prescription and over-the-counter (i.e., Tylenol, Advil,
Cough Drops, etc.) brought to the school MUST be in the original
container and kept in the clinic. It
should be in small amounts because storage space is very limited.
Students
may keep in their possession certain medications, such as prescription
inhalers and Epi-pens when the need for such medication is urgent and a
delay could result in a serious health event. This is permitted,
provided it is cleared through the clinic in advance, with a form on
file with a physician’s signature.
IMMUNIZATIONS
In accordance with state guidelines, all students must be adequately
immunized. Letters will go
home with students who are due for immunizations.
Parents are given 30 days after the due date to immunize their
child. If proof of
immunization is not received, then the student will be excluded from
school until proof is provided.
