MEDICATIONS:

All students with asthma, food allergies, and special medical needs must have a physician-signed emergency care plan. All medications, including over-the-counter medications (such as Tylenol, Advil, cough drops, etc.) must be

• accompanied by a “Medication Request Form” that has been completed by a parent/legal guardian and signed by a doctor.

• transported/delivered to the clinic by a parent or legal guardian.

• provided in the original bottle.

• kept in the clinic; exceptions are Epi-Pens, inhalers, and diabetic supplies, which the student may carry with written permission from their doctor.

• dispensed by the school nurse or a trained staff person.

• picked up by a parent/legal guardian by the last day of school or it will be properly disposed of by the nurse.

ILLNESS:

• Students who have had fever of 100 degrees or higher must be fever-free, without the use of medications such as Tylenol, for 24 hours before they can return to school.

• If your child is sick the night before or on a school morning, please do not send them to school, as they will most likely not make it through the day and also expose their classmates to illness.
