Reminder regarding over the counter medication (OTC) and prescribed medication:
Per policy, all OTC and prescription medications are to be kept locked in the clinic/school office and be administered by the school nurse, clinic aide, principal or trained designee. No student is to carry/possess medications, without appropriate medical authorization. No medication will be administered unless the school has received a signed copy of the Medication Authorization Form (Appendix F-6). OTC medications do not require a health care provider’s signature unless the medication is required for four (4) or more consecutive days. It shall be the student’s responsibility to come to the clinic/school office at the appropriate time for medication unless a health care provider or parent/guardian indicates in writing that the student cannot do this.
Students are NOT permitted to self-medicate. The school does not assume responsibility for medications taken independently by the student.
Click HERE for a copy of the medication authorization form for your convenience. Part I and Part II must be completely filled out and signed for this document to be valid.

Doctor's note required for orthopedic boots, cast, splints and devices
Per policy, if your child requires crutches, boots, casts or splints or any orthopedic device, you must send in a doctor’s note that states limitations for physical activities and your child will remain in the clinic with the nurse during recess (SJS allows your child to go out with their classmates for recess for fresh air but they are not allowed to participate in physical activity). Additionally, a doctor’s note is required if your child is unable to participate in Physical Education classes.
