PRESCHOOL
Upon enrollment each child must have on file a record completed by his/her physician documenting physical examination and current immunizations. Parents or guardians may sign a waiver form for medical or religious exemptions.
If your child requires medication it may be administered by the school nurse upon written orders from a physician, and upon written request of a student’s parent or guardian. The physician’s orders must detail the name of the drug, dosage, time interval the medication is to be taken, diagnosis and reason for giving.
The medication must be brought to school in a container labeled by the pharmacy or physician. The medication may be administered by the nurse or be delegated to a staff member who has full knowledge about performing the procedure.
Non-prescription medication must be accompanied by a written request from the child’s parent or guardian. The request must contain assurances that the child has suffered no previous ill effects from the use of the medication.
Please advise the staff if you have given any medication to your child before school. Many medications can cause unusual behavior or symptoms that teachers should be aware of. If your child will be absent from school please call the direct preschool line (228-7649).
