Parent Student Handbook - Florence Township School District

administration of medication at school:
No medication will be administered without the Florence Township Schools ARequest for
Administration@ form being filled out and signed by the doctor and the parental
authorization filled out by the parent or guardian (signed and dated).
All medications must be in pharmacy- labeled containers. The medication should be
brought to the school in the original container, appropriately labeled by the pharmacy or
physician.
EMERGENCY/HEALTH CARD INFORMATION: Accurate emergency information
regarding each student must be provided to assure proper care and safety. This
information is requested on a card which is filed in our school=s Health Office. Parents
should complete and sign both sides of the emergency card. Please contact the School
Nurse=s office if, at any time during the school year, the Emergency/Health Card
information needs to be updated or changed.
Parents of students with anaphylaxis are responsible for attending any school sponsored
activity or trip. If they cannot attend, they must provide a delegate for epinephrine
administration. If a delegate is unavailable, the parent must notify the school nurse at
least two weeks prior to the event.
END-OF-DAY ROUTINE
DISMISSAL
Prior to leaving school, students should follow a routine of checking their Agenda Books to
ensure that they have books and materials they need from their lockers.
EARLY DISMISSAL PROCEDURES
Early dismissals are sometimes necessary for a doctor, dental or daytime appointment. The
process used by our office is as follows:
On the morning of the early dismissal, the student should report to the Main Office
before school and turn in his/her parent or guardian=s written notification to the office
staff.
The student will receive an AEarly Release Form@ that should then be presented to the
teacher at the time that the student has to leave that day. (If the student=s early dismissal
time will occur in the middle of a class period, the student should notify the classroom
teacher prior to the beginning of that class period.)
In the interest of our students= safety and school security, in the event of an early
dismissal, parents/guardians must come into the Main Office in person to Asign out@ and
accompany their children. Upon returning, we ask that the parent also returns to the
office to sign the student back in.
PLEASE NOTE: A student will not be released to an adult unless that adult is
designated as an additional contact on the Student Information Card.
The early dismissal will not be documented as Aexcused@ until an accompanying note from the
doctor, dentist or legal agency is brought to the office, by either student or parent, following the
appointment.
