small medium large +++MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION+++ In order to comply with the USD 353 Board of Education Policy JGFB-R on administration of medication, school personnel do not dispense any medication, not even aspirin, without a physician or dentist order. If it is necessary for a student to take medication during school time, the school will cooperate with the student's parent/guardian in its administration. If a medication is ordered three times daily, the doses should be given: before school, after school and at bedtime. If a medication is ordered to be given four times a day or at a specific time during school hours, the following criteria must be followed: 1. A written physician or dentist order (or copy of it) AND written parent/guardian authorization to give the prescription or over the counter medication. A form is available in school offices for this purpose; it is not a mandatory form. 2. The student must have received at least one dose of the medication before it is given at school. 3. The medication must be sent to school in its original container. Pharmacists will generally give you an additional labeled prescription conatiner (if you request it) at the time the prescription is filled. Send Over the Counter Medications in their original conatainers. 4. If a student needs prescribed medication during a school- sponsored event such as a field trip or athletic event, arrangements will be made prior to the event. Depending on the student's age and situation, the medication will be administered by a supervising adult or the student. 5. A new physician or dentist order and parent/guardian authorization is required for each school year. Self-Administered Medications- Asthma Inhalers and Epi-Pens, must follow the same Dr. order & Parent/Guardian permission as outlined above. They may then be carried by the student or kept in the Nurse Office, as ordered by the Doctor. Complete information & forms are available during school enrollments and throughout the school year.
