In the event your child should need medication at school, a qualified staff member will dispense the medication to your child. Lander County School District’s medication policy states the following:
1. School personnel will dispense no prescription medication unless it is in the original prescriptive container or bottle, which must include directions from the doctor.
2. Over the counter medication can only be dispensed from the original containers. School personnel will dispense according to the directions as per age of student.
3. Long-term medication must be accompanied by instructions from the doctor. The doctor must prescribe any changes in dosage or routine in writing.
4. Each time your child is to receive medication during school hours; a medication release form must be filled out by the parent or guardian. You may get this form at any office or at the nurse’s office in the Eliza Pierce Elementary.
5. Every school year we will need new forms filled out by the parent and/or doctor.
6. If your child needs to self-medicate with a medication, the school must be notified and a medication form filled out for self-administration.
You may call the school nurse’s office (635-2349) if you have any questions or concerns.
