If your child should require medication during school hours, the health office staff will be happy to provide assistance.
BPS Medication Policy require that all medications must be kept in the Nurse's Office unless prior arrangements have been made with the nurse and your doctor. Medications include prescription and non-prescription items (i.e. Tylenol, Motrin, Advil, etc). A medication Form must be completed by both the parent and the doctor (when prescribed) and be on file with the nurse before any medication can be given. Forms can be obtained here or from your school nurse.
If your child is scheduled to participate on a school field trip and it is necessary for him/her to take a daily medication, please take the following steps:
* Enclose and seal the medication in the envelope provided by the school
* Print clearly your child's name, the name of the medication, amount to be administered, as well as the time it should be given (ie: lunch time)
* Sign the envelope
If your student is bringing medication to school, it should be taken immediately to the school nurse or office.
It is our goal to provide each child with maximum learning opportunities within a minimally restrictive environment. In order to meet this goal, we ask for information on any medical concerns that may affect your child's ability to participate in classroom activities. This information will help us work with your child to minimize feelings of being treated differently, and possible absenteeism. Examples of medical concerns that may impact learning include, but are not limited to the following:
~ADD/ADHD/Learning Disorders
~Allergies - Bee Stings, Food Allergies, etc.
~Asthma
~Diabetes
~Psychological concerns
~Seizure Disorders
~Vision / Hearing Impairment
