Taking Medicine at School
1. Medicine must be in the original container.
2. All medicine will be kept in the clinic and administered by the nurse or her designee.
3. A signed and dated parent note with the student's name, medication name, the time and amount to be given must accompany the medicine.
4. For prescription medications, i.e. Ritalin, a current prescription date is required for each refill.
5. Medications prescribed once, twice or three times daily should be given at home (before, at 3:30, and at bedtime) to avoid excessive medication administration in the school setting.
DISMISSAL BECAUSE OF ILLNESS
Should it be necessary to send your child home at any time, or if your child becomes ill, the school will call home first. Please be sure you have furnished the school with a phone number for you and an emergency phone number if we are unable to reach you. No child should leave the school grounds without signing out in the office by a parent or guardian.
YOUR CHILD WILL SENT HOME FOR THE FOLLOWING CONDITIONS
1. Chills
2. Fever - 100 or above
3. Vomiting
4. Diarrhea
5. Cold symptoms accompanied by green or yellow mucus
6. Contagious skin conditions
7. Serious accidents
8. Incomplete immunization
9. Lice
IF YOUR CHILD HAS ANY OF THESE SYMPTOMS BEFORE COMING TO SCHOOL, PLEASE KEEP HIM/HER HOME AND NOTIFY THE OFFICE.
Emergencies
In case of a serious illness or accident, if you or your designee cannot be located, an ambulance will be called to transport your child to the hospital at your expense. A school representative will remain with your child until you arrive.
