Info

c) Medications are to be brought to school by a responsible person. The school reserves the right to determine this responsibility, and this person will as much as possible, be the parent or legal guardian. If this is not possible, the parent/legal guardian will contact the school’s nurse in advance of administering the first dose, advise of the need for the medication, and the method of delivery of the medication will be agreed upon. A written letter stating all information contained on the Administering Medication form must accompany the medication. The appropriate form will then be sent home with the student and must be completed and returned before the second dose is administered. Paracetamol (UK equivalent to Tylenol) will be given only if the parent(s) or legal guardian(s) have signed the form indicating permission for administration. d) A new Administering Medication form is to be completed: 1. Whenever the dosage is changed 2. Annually, for all medications 3. For each medication for each child e) The school nurse is to be notified immediately of any changes in dosage or if the medication is no longer required. f) Medication for field trips will be provided by the parents and given to the nurse who will pass this on to the group leader. The medication is to be accompanied by a letter explaining dose and time to be given. All medication should be named and prescribed for that person in the original packaging. Medication stored in the medical office is only to be used during the school day g) All medication must be collected at the end of the school year. Any medication not collected will be disposed of through a pharmacy. Immunisation Please check whether your son/daughter is up-to-date with his/her vaccinations.
