MEDICATION SAFEGUARD
Whenever possible, medications should be given at home. However, the school system realizes that for student to maintain school attendance, certain medications may be required during school hours. With the safety of the children and staff being our priority, the system has revised policies and procedures for medications administered at school.
NO medications will be given without prior written permission. For students to receive medication at school, parents will need to complete:
• "The Parent/Guardian Medication Permission Form" – This provides parent permission for over-the-counter and short-term (less than 10 days) medications, and physician-prescribed long-term (more than ten days) to be administered at school.
• "The Health Care Provider Medication/Permission Form" – This provides for information from a student’s health care provider about medications that is to be given for more than 10 days or regularly during the school year.
• On the rare occasion acetaminophen (Tylenol), Ibuprofen (Motrin/Advil), Antacid (Tums), Pramoxine (Caladryl) may enable your child to return to class after assessment by the licensed nurse, you may indicate permission for your child to receive school stocked acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, antacid, or Pramoxine on Parent Portal. If your child requires additional doses of the approved over-the- counter medications more than 2 times in the school year, the parent will be asked to furnish this medication with a Parent Medication Permission Form.Please take the time to read the guidelines below carefully. These policies will require greater cooperation and communication between parents and school personnel.
