Medication
In order to comply with the Oral Medication
Implementation Law, WVCA has adopted the following guidelines:
Any medication, either prescribed or
over-the-counter, must be brought to the school office for
administration and storage. It will only be given by authorized
staff members. A form must be filled out in order for personnel to
dispense medications, even over the counter medicines, inhalers and
cough drops. Do NOT let your child take cough drops or lip balm to
the classroom unless you have made arrangements with the teacher.
The teacher must keep them at their desk.
In all cases, each request must be in written
form and signed by the parent/guardian. All medications must have
written instructions for administration. These forms are available
from the office.
All
medications must be in their original containers.
Students should never bring vitamins to school.
If your child needs to have an inhaler or a nebulizer at
school you will need to fill out a nebulizer form.
Medical Alert
Do NOT send any form of over the counter or
prescription medication to school with your child. ALL medications
are to be turned in to the office by and adult. Please abide by this
policy even if you are not in agreement with it. Your cooperation is
imperative and appreciated.
