Dispensing of Medication in the School Setting

In order for the school nurse to give your child medication (prescription or over the counter) during school hours, all of the following requirements must be met:

  • Medication must be in its original pharmacy container with the following information: 

  1. student’s name

  2. name of medication

  3. prescribing doctor

  4. dose and time to be given

  • A signed note from the prescribing physician containing all the information above.

  • A signed note from the parent giving the school nurse permission to dispense the medication.

 All medication must be hand delivered to the school nurse or principal by a parent or responsible adult.  Students should not carry medications to and from school.

Sick Students Policy

To insure the health of our students, school policy regarding sick students is as follows:

  • A minimum of three doses of medication must be administered before returning to school (Strep Throat or Pink Eye).

  • Temperature has to be normal (98.6) for 24 hours without medication before returning to school.

  • If your child is experiencing diarrhea on the morning of school, they should remain at home for the day.

  • Children who are experiencing vomiting should remain at home until they are healthy enough to return to school (preferably 24 hours after the last vomiting episode).

Reporting an Absent or Tardy Student

Please call Mrs. Glindmyer at 355-1342 Ext. 5036 to report an absent or tardy student.  Call each morning your child will be absent or tardy, before 9:00 AM, so we know he/she is safe at home or will be coming to school late.
