School policy and Oregon State Law requires parents to bring medication to the school office in the original container. Pharmacies will provide you with a duplicate container. The label will state the student’s name, the dosage, time, prescription number and the physician’s name. Parents must pick up unused medication; it cannot be sent home with your child. Medication Record and Authorization Forms are to be completed by parents in the school office. Emergency medications, such as a bee sting kit, must be accompanied by your doctor’s written directions for use. All asthma medications must be registered through the office. No medication of any kind is allowed on a student’s person during the course of the school day. However, special arrangements may be made, if necessary. You must re-register all medications at the beginning of the year. Authorization forms cannot be carried from one year to the next. If your child is seen with medication, they will be sent to the office and a phone call will be made to the parent to come and either retrieve the medication or appear in the office to register it with the office. |
