Please refer to the policy in the Pearland Independent School District Student Code of Conduct Handbook. If possible all medication should be given by the parents at home. Direction must include student's name, date, time to be given, and name of medication. Prescription and non-prescription drugs are to be in the original container. The nurse will supervise the storing and dispensing of medicine.
Any treatment given at school is limited to first aid.
When a pupil becomes ill or is injured at school, parents are notified. If they cannot be reached and the situation requires attention beyond our resources, the family physician is contacted for instruction. If the parents have named no physician, it may be necessary to send the pupil to a hospital emergency service for needed care until the parents can be reached. Parents should supply the school with information concerning special health problems, as well as how they may be reached and the family physician's name and phone number. The name of a friend or relative who might be contacted when we are not able to reach the parents has proven very helpful.
