Dear
Parent/Guardian:
We would
like to remind you of the policies that have been put in place to ensure the
health and safety of children needing medications during the school day. In order to comply with state laws, our
school district requires that the following items must be on file before
we begin to give any medication at school:
1.
Signed consent by the parent or guardian to give the
medication. Please complete the enclosed “SAU 21 Permission to Administer
Medicine in School” form and give it to your school nurse.
2.
Physician signed medication order. The enclosed form
may be taken to your child’s physician for completion and returned to the
school nurse. Alternatively, your
child’s physician may fax a copy of signed medication orders to the school. This order must be renewed as needed and at
the beginning of each academic year.
Medications
should be delivered to the school in a pharmacy or manufacturer-labeled
container by you or a responsible adult whom you designate. Please ask your
pharmacy to provide separate bottles for school and home. No more than a
thirty-day supply of the medicine should be delivered to the school. Students
should not transport medications to school.
Please
complete these steps as soon as possible to avoid a delay in your student
receiving their medication. Medication
will not be given until both the parent consent and the physician’s signed
medication orders are on file. Thank you
for your help.
Sincerely
yours,
Kira
