This must be accompanied by the 1702 form filled out by the doctor, the parents, and the school principal. The 1702 form is available at your doctor's office or the school office. If you child's medication changes in any way, a new 1702 form must be filled out reflecting the change.
Parents are responsible for transporting medication to and from school.
Students are not allowed to have medication in their possession on the school bus or in school. Aspirin, Tylenol, or any other over the counter medication must adhere to the same guidelines. Short term medication, such as an antibiotic, may be given to a student when the medication is brought to the school in the prescription bottle and is accompanied by a note from the parent. Unexpected illnesses, such as headaches, stomach aches, etc., that occur during the school day are handled by the office staff. Verbal assessment is taken, temperature determined, and parents are generally called to make the decision as to whether or not the child stays in school.
