This is for the safety of all students and in accordance with State law. Any questions about immunizations or waivers should be directed to the principal or the school nurse.
|
| EMERGENCY MEDICAL AUTHORIZATION |
| The Board has established a policy that every student must have an Emergency Medical Authorization Form completed and signed by his/her parent in order to participate in any activity off of school grounds. This includes field trips, spectator trips, athletic and other extracurricular activities, and co-curricular activities. The school has made the form available to every parent at the time of enrollment. Failure to return the completed form to the school may jeopardize a student’s educational program. |
| PICKING UP AND DROPPING OFF OF STUDENTS |
| Any parent wishing to pick up or drop off their child during the regular school hours must sign their child out at the office. No student will be dismissed from school without being signed out in the office. Please do not pick up or drop off students at the same location as the buses. This represents a very dangerous situation and the safety and well being of every child is of the utmost importance. |
| USE OF MEDICATIONS |
| In those circumstances where a student must take a prescribed medication during the school day, the following guidelines are to be observed: |
- Parents should, with their physician’s counsel, determine whether the medication schedule could be adjusted to avoid administering medication during school hours.
- The appropriate form must be filed with the building principal before the student will be allowed to begin taking any medication during school hours. (A form is attached to the back of this booklet)
- All medication must be registered with the Principal’s Office.
- Medication that is brought to the office will be properly secured. Medication MAY NOT be sent to school in a student’s lunch box, pocket, or other means on or about his/her person.
Medication may be conveyed to school directly by the parent or transported by transportation personnel (bus driver and/or bus aide) at parental request. This should be arranged in advance.
- Any unused medication unclaimed by the parent will be destroyed by school personnel when a prescription is no longer to be administered, or at the end of a school year.
- The parents shall have sole responsibility to instruct their child to take the medication at the scheduled time.
- A log for each prescribed medication shall be maintained which will note the personnel giving the medication, the date, and the time of day. This log will be maintained along with the physician’s written request and the parent’s written release.
- Medications must be provided in the containers in which they were dispensed by the prescribing physician or licensed pharmacist.
|
| Nonprescribed (Over-the-Counter) Medications |
No staff member will be permitted to dispense nonprescribed, over-the-counter (OTC) medication to any student.
If a student is found using or possessing a nonprescribed medication without parent authorization, s/he will be brought to the school office and the parents will be contacted for authorization. The medication will be confiscated until written authorization is received.
Any student who distributes a medication of any kind to another student or is found to possess a medication other than the one authorized is in violation of the school’s Code of Conduct and will be disciplined in accordance with the drug-use provision of the Code.
A student may possess and use a metered dose inhaler or a dry powder inhaler to alleviate asthmatic symptoms or before exercise to prevent the onset of asthmatic symptoms, at school or at any activity, event, or program sponsored by or in which the student’s school is a participant, if the appropriate form is filled out and on file in the Principal’s office.
A student who is authorized to possess and use a metered dose or dry powder inhaler may not transfer possession of any inhaler or other medication to any other student.
|
| CONTROL OF CASUAL-CONTACT COMMUNICABLE DISEASES |
| Because a school has a high concentration of people, it is necessary to take specific measures when the health or safety of the group is at risk. The school’s professional staff has the authority to remove or isolate a student who has been ill or has been exposed to a communicable disease or highly transient pest, such as lice. |
