Clinic reminder: Please do not drop off or send in any medication to the Clinic without the proper form. We will not be able to administer any medication without signed documentation from Parents and/or Doctors. These forms can be found on our website under “Parents” and then “Clinic Information” or they can be picked up in the Clinic.
*Any over-the-counter (OTC) medications that will be taken short-term or kept in the Clinic for “as needed” use need to be accompanied by a Medication Administration Request form and signed by a parent. This form is also used for short-term prescriptions that need to be administered during school hours, and must be signed by your child’s Doctor.
*Inhalers, either daily or for emergency use, need to be accompanied by an Asthma Action Plan completed and signed by your child’s Doctor and signed by a parent.
*If your child has a life-threatening allergy, any medication required to treat symptoms needs to be accompanied by a Life-Threatening Allergy Management Plan, completed and signed by the Doctor and signed by a parent.
*Controlled medications must be dropped off by a parent to the Clinic and then counted and signed in by both parties. The Medication Administration Request form must be completed and signed by the Doctor and signed by a parent.
All forms need to be current for this school year. We are not permitted to use forms from last year.
Thank you for your cooperation! We look forward to a healthy 2018/19 school year!
