We require a parent/guardian to complete a Student Health Card as part of registration. A parents/guardian will need to update this card as needed. Students who must take medication during the school day, whether prescription or nonprescription, must bring that medication to the student’s teacher. The teacher/assistant will administer medication(s) to the student. Parents must complete a medication authorization form for all medications and must also complete a physician authorization form or any long-term medications, prescription or non-prescription.
Medication must be in the original container with the label intact, including name, dosage, and the expiration date of the medication. The student’s name MUST be on the bottle. Parents should send only a school week’s supply at a time. The student may pick up the empty container on Friday. The parent/guardian is responsible for notifying the school of any changes concerning the administration of medication. A student with asthma may possess and use asthma medication when on school properties and at school sponsored events. The school district shall incur no liability as a result of any injury sustained by the student from self-administration of asthma medication.
