New Over-The-Counter Medication Policy for Grades 9-12
Here are the key details of the new policy:
-
Medication Authorization Form: All students in Grades 9-12 who require OTC medication during school hours must have their parent/guardian complete and submit the Medication Authorization Form. This form can be obtained from the school's nurse's office or downloaded here.
-
Parent/Guardian Consent: Parents or guardians must provide written consent on the Medication Authorization Form. Please note that students who do not have this consent will not be allowed to take OTC medication while at school.
-
Medication Storage: OTC medications must be stored in their original containers and kept in a secure location, such as the school nurse's office.
-
Emergency Situations: In emergency situations, our school staff will have access to essential OTC medications to ensure the safety and well-being of our students.
