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 PHYSICAN 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 and guidelines and these forms are available at http://www.greenville.k12.sc.us/gcsd/depts/stuserv/health.asp
