May 2017 We Need Your Help!!
Student Medication Pickup End of Year and Following 2017-18 School Year
Dear Parents,
The end of the school year is rapidly approaching and the health office is preparing for the summer. If your child has medications at school, the health office needs to return all unused medication at the end of the school year. We will send the medications home in a brown sealed paper bag in your child's backpack on May 31st or June 1st depending on field trip schedules. If you do not want us to put in their backpacks, you can stop by the office and pick up yourself. Please contact the school health office if you would alternative arrangements for medication pickup. Thank you for your help on this important matter.
The health office is not allowed to dispose of student medications, and no medications may be left in the health office during the summer. All medications must be picked up no later than the last day of school, June 1st, 2017.
For School year 2017-2018:
When sending any prescription or non-prescription medication to school, parents must send each year:
- Written parent permission (see Administration form above) authorizing school personnel to administer medication.
- A written order from the physician (see Administration form above) indicating the necessity of any (prescription or over-the counter) medication, including dose and how often it can be given. The physician may fax the order to the school.
- The original labeled container of the medication. For prescription medication, the pharmacist will supply a duplicate labeled container so one can be kept at home and one can be kept at school. Each container should have the phone number of the pharmacy, student's name, physician's name, medication's name, dosage, time to be given, and route (oral, inhaled, etc.).
- If you have any questions or concerns, do not hesitate to contact me at 952-848-4547.
Have a happy healthy summer!
