Medication Administration Policy, Procedures and Forms
Epinephrine Stock Medication Procedure and Anaphylaxis Management
Over The Counter Consent - This form is used for medications that are on hand at school. (Should be for occasional use only)
Request For Giving Medication - This form is used for over the counter medication sent to school from home, such as Tylenol, Ibuprofen, cold or allergy medication. This can also be used for prescription medications but a medical provider's signature is required for prescription medications to be administered at school.
Health Services Provided
Our school health room staff are trained in basic first aid and medication administration.
If an incident or injury is severe, a medical emergency response team (consisting of staff trained in CPR, first aid and administration of emergency medication such as inhalers or Epipens) will respond and 911 will be called, if needed. There are bleeding control stations and an AED in each school.
Certain health problems can be a barrier to optimal learning. In order to identify some of the more frequently occurring problems, our school district conducts the following screenings:
Vision: Kindergarten, 2nd, 4th, 6th & 8th grades
