There are medication consent forms upon request if your child will be taking ANY medications at school. The School District has a policy on medication in line with Wisconsin law concerning the administration of medication to pupils. Forms can also be found on the school website (For Parents Tab àHealth Servicesà Med Info).
Prescription Medication may be given in school only if the following guidelines are met:
A medication form with medication information and instructions, along with the prescribing practitioner’s signature and parent signature must be completed and returned to the school.
Medications are to be brought to school in the appropriate pharmacy labeled bottle.
Medication must be dropped off at school by a parent or guardian for student safety, not sent in with students or in their book bags.
Over the counter medication will be given only if the following guidelines are met:
- A medication form with medication information and instructions, along with parent signature must be completed and returned to the school.
- Any parent/guardian provided medication needs to be sent to school in the original, properly labeled container and dropped off in the office by a parent or guardian.
Stock Medication can be given only if the following guidelines are met:
- The Standing Order for Stock Medication permission is completed during Online Registration or a signed paper copy is turned into the office.
- Package dosage will be followed. Any medication to be given beyond that dosage would need a prescription medication form with practitioner’s signature.
Health Concerns:
If your child has any health conditions the school should be made aware of, please indicate this during Online Registration, contact the school Health Office or inform your child’s teacher. Your child may need a school Action Plan (asthma, allergies, seizures, diabetes) filled out and signed by a practitioner for their safety. These forms can be requested from the Health Office.
