Oral Medications form Must be signed by Doctor!!

Dear Parents and students going to DC,


 If you have not had your Oral Medications authorization Form signed by a doctor please get this completed before we leave tomorrow. 


See below for more info.

One more thing-

If a student has a chaperone going on the trip, they do NOT need to do the forms.

Also, some of you already did get a signature anyway- you don’t need to do it again.

Thanks,

Kay

Hello everyone,

I just met with our school nurse, and she let me know of our school policy that we DO indeed need to have doctor’s signature on the medical forms, *EVEN FOR OVER-THE-COUNTER MEDICINES* such as Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Claritin, etc. I am extremely sorry; I knew we were in a time crunch and didn’t realize this requirement for over-the-counter as well.

So, she gave us a couple of options.

1)      Have your student not bring what they might not need. So if they are taking something just as a precaution or “just in case,” an option is to just trust that they won’t need it.

2)      Get a signature from your doctor / doctor’s office- this goes for all prescription medicines NOT already on file here at school, and for any over-the-counter medicines. I realize that this is an extremely busy time for all right now, and I truly, truly apologize for giving you one more thing to get done before we leave tomorrow night. However, if you have time (or your student) to zip by your doctor’s office, any licensed medical health professional in your doctor’s office can sign the form, our nurse says. You don’t need to make an appointment, it just needs to be signed.

I am attaching the form because we don’t see the majority of our students today in class, and many have diligently turned in their forms already.

Again, I apologize…
