OVERNIGHT MEDICATION PROCEDURES
Should my child need any medications administered during this trip, I understand that a school nurse will not be present and that I must designate an individual by completing the following forms and information.
I understand and consent to the following regarding medications for my child:
A signed prescription by a physician or nurse practitioner must be on file with the school nurse for prescription medications.
All prescription medications must be clearly marked as to the contents by the pharmacy or doctor labeling.
In accordance with District policy: Medications must be in their original container, this includes both prescriptions and over-the-counter medications.
There must be written permission (signed Health History Form) from the parent/guardian providing consent to administer an over-the-counter medication.
All over-the-counter medications must be provided by the parent & given to the designated teacher who will administer them. Examples- Ibuprofen, Tylenol, cough drops, Midol, Tums, and Benadryl.
At all times, teachers will have possession of “emergency medications” such as inhalers and Epi-pens, unless the student has a current self-carry contract.
Disciplinary action will occur for students found with prescription or non-prescription medications in their possession.
