STUDENT MEDICATION
Medication cannot be administered by the school staff unless directed by a doctor and unless the correct forms are signed and completed by guardians and a doctor.
If the medication is for a non life-threatening condition, you must complete an Administration of Medication form and an S16(a) form below and have it signed by your doctor.
If your child has an anaphylactic condition (for example, a potentially life-threatening reaction to bee stings or peanuts), the S15 and S15(a) forms below must be filled in and signed by your doctor.
No pupil should bring medication or inhalers unless they are clearly marked and unless the classroom teacher and the office are informed.
If your child has a severe allergy that requires an epipen, Board policy requires that every student with such an allergy to have 2 epipens at school: One to be kept on the student in a fanny pack and one to be kept in the office. Parents or guardians may wish to provide a third epipen, which may be kept in the classroom.
These forms and procedures clarify what is to be done by whom, authorize certain persons to do what is necessary and help ensure the safety of vulnerable children.
