Please remember:
A prescription label or physician's signature is required for all
prescription medication brought to school. All medication must also be
in the original container. If the medication is prescription, the label must include (1)the name of the
student, (2) name of medication, (3) dosage, (4)instructions and (5) name and phone number of
physician.
Non prescription medication which is required during
school hours (such as the Tylenol) also needs to be in original
containers and each medication must have a separate Medication
Assistance form.
Teachers may not store or dispense
medication from their classroom. If a student whose medical
protcol requires that the medication be nearby at all times (such as an epi-pen, nebulizer, inhaler.),
then a separate form for the medical protocol and provisions for
security are necessary. We are happy to work with your physician office
or other medical professional to provide this. The staff may also
need to be trained. We are all certified in First Aid, CPR and AED use
but we rely on parents to give us the specifics about medication, oxygen
or other needs relating to the child. This includes what to look for
in
symptoms, signs and severity in case of emergency.
Being happy, healthy and safe is important to us!--
