Health Room Policy Changes

Beginning in August 2010

Due to changes in South Carolina policies governing the administration of prescription medication, we will no longer have a 10-day grace period before written physician authorization is required for all prescription medications.

∙ Parents are required to bring prescription medication to school and provide form Med-1 before any prescription medication may be left at the school.

∙ If your child must self-administer medication at school form Med-2 is required before medication is brought to school.

∙ A parent may provide written authorization for over-the-counter medication to be kept and administered in the health room using form Med-3

All Health Services procedures, guidelines, and these forms are available HERE
