239 Students who are injured or become ill at school will receive first aid treatment only. Students who are more seriously injured or more seriously ill will be cared for according to emergency procedures as they were indicated on the enrollment forms. Aspirin can be dispensed only if it is brought from home with a permission slip signed by a parent or guardian. State law and common sense dictate that we proceed in this manner. If students are seriously injured or ill, they will be taken to a doctor or hospital as the case may dictate or the parent may be called to come and pick up the student.
State law prohibits the school staff from dispensing any type of internal medication.
Such medication as spray bandages, first aid cream or band-aids are permitted. A parent may fill out an emergency waiver form. The written physician's order must accompany all medications so that it may be placed in the student's file.
