Clinic

Medication for Students:

In order for a student to receive medication during school hours a doctor must complete a Request for Medication Form and the medicine must be delivered to the school by a parent /guardian. Medication may only be administered by certified personnel, and will be kept locked in the clinic. Law forbids teachers to administer any type of medication, except when on a field trip.

(VCSB Policy 211)

Please view the Student Health services website to access the new medication forms and or procedure forms. Medication forms, procedure forms, and emergency care plans must be renewed by the parent, at or before the beginning of each school year in order for your child to receive medication or procedures during school hours on a school campus. Students carrying their own epipen​​, inhaler or diabetic supplies, are also required to have medication forms on file with their zoned school. Below are a few helpful links.

Administration of Medication

Only the principal, school nurse, or trained staff shall administer prescription medication to the student or assist the student in the administration of such medication on a school campus. Prior to the administration or self-administration of medication, including over the counter medications, parents/legal guardians must complete the designated forms. At no time may a student bring any medication to the school. Medication must be transported to school by a parent or legal guardian.
