Request to administer medication during school hours
by
The Health Services staff is willing to cooperate with physicians and parents/guardians if your child must take medication during the school hours. To prevent a possible error in giving medication and to protect your child, please note the following guidelines:
==> This permission and information form must be completed whenever any medication (prescription and over-the-counter) is to be administered during the school time. *Please note- a physician must sign this form. ==> The form must be completed and returned to the school nurse. (Duplicate forms are available in the nurse’s office and on the school website under Health Services Department @ www.ridleysd.k12.pa.us.) ==> Please send medication in the original pharmacy container identifying the child’s name, the medication, the dosage, and the prescribing physician.
The Health Services department does have standing orders for dispensing: ==> antacid ==> acetaminophen (Tylenol) ==> ibuprofen (Advil) at school (Middle and high school only)
