MEDICATION POLICY

It is the policy of St. Francis High School that the administration of medication, or supervision of self-medication to students during regular school hours should be discouraged unless necessary to maintain the student in school or in the event of an emergency.

This form may be downloaded from the St. Francis web site and must be signed by the parent and completed by a physician prior to dispensing of any medication to the student.

All medications must be delivered to the school nurse (or in case of the nurse’s absence a designated administrator) as soon as the student enters the building and prior to class. A student may keep prescribed medication in his or her possession only when a physician has verified that a student must possess the medication for emergency reasons.

The school nurse (or in case of the nurse’s absence, a designated administrator) will administer the medication or supervise self-medication in accordance with the physician instructions.

Please note: medication is to be in the original, labeled container as dispensed by the pharmacy or the manufacturer. It must state the student’s name, name of the medication, directions for use and date.

notify parents/guardian

call the paramedics in the event that a parent or guardian cannot be reached

call the paramedics when the injury is limb/life threatening, then call the parent/guardian

ATHLETES WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO PARTICIPATE AFTER BEING SEEN BY A PHYSCIAN WITHOUT A NOTE!!!

if an athlete is under the care of a physician, the physician shall determine the availability of the athlete.
