When a child is enrolled, parents are asked to provide information on any medication that the student may be required to take. The school should be advised through the office if there is a change or any new medication required.
If your child may have need of medication at school we ask that you bring this to the Office in a clear plastic container and we will keep this in our sickbay to have on hand for when your child needs it.
The type of medications we are referring to are: asthma inhaler (and spacer), allergy medication (for hayfever or other allergies), epi-pen, skin cream (for skin allergy/rash) etc.
If you already keep spare medication at school please pop in to the Office every quarter to check that the medication has not expired and that the recommended dosage on the label is still correct for your child’s weight (and that this is written on the label). Keeping medications up to date is the parent’s responsibility.
If your child has a short-term health concern and requires prescription medicine (such as antibiotics) to be administered while they are at school please send this to the Office in a labeled container or plastic bag along with a medicine cup or spoon.
