Policy and Procedures

NON-PRESCRIPTION MEDICATIONS 

The Health Office will stock some non-prescription, or over-the-counter medication such as Acetaminophen (generic Tylenol) tablets and Tums.  Your child will bring a form home for you to complete the first day of school if you wish to take advantage of this service.  Non-prescription medications such as Advil or liquid preparations of medications will not be stocked but may be supplied by you and kept in the Health Office.  These medications will require the original container and completion of the parent/guardian permission form (in Health Office).  If possible, please purchase the smallest available container, as space is limited.

Dispensing of medications, prescribed and over-the-counter, during school hours is governed by a state and district policy and is strictly adhered to.

Students are not allowed to keep medication on their person, in the classroom or in a locker.  The only exceptions to this will be students who require inhalers for their asthma and students with severe allergic reactions who require Epi-Pens or ANA kits. Completion of the "Inhaled Medication Administration Form" and the "EpiPen Medication Administration Form (Self-Administration)" is required by both the child's healthcare provider and the parent/guardian in order for the student to keep these medications on his/her person. These forms may be accessed by clicking on the appropriate form on the Medication Forms List on this page. Medication is otherwise stored in the Health Office.  Any additional questions or concerns may be addressed by contacting the nurse at 382-6226 ext. 106.  It is our wish to keep your child well so he/she can learn.
