Medications:
It is our school's policy to have in place a completed Medication Authorization Form (link found below) if any over-the-counter (OTC) and/or prescribed medications are to be administered during school hours, on field trips, and at school-sponsored events. This form needs to be signed by a physician with prescribing authority and by you, the parent. This document is valid for one year. Please plan ahead with field trips and school-sponsored events and have this documentation in place.
Health Care Plans:
Health care plans are designed to be a collaborative effort between your child's health care provider, you as the parent, and the School Nurse. This document lays out the plan for how your student will be cared for while in school if they have a medical diagnosis and a need for intervention, to include medication administration, if necessary.
If your child needs a health care plan, the following documents can be taken to your provider to be completed and brought back to school. All care plans must be renewed annually and turned in ideally before school starts.
This list is not comprehensive and if your child has an illness or condition not listed above, please contact the School Nurse.
