Administering Medication During School Hours In accordance with the Winnipeg School Division #1 policy, no medication is to be in the student's possession at any time. Should children be required to take medication during the school hours, a form must be filled out by the physician indicating the name of the drug, the dosage to be taken and any other instructions that are necessary. The medication must be brought from the home by a parent/guardian or other responsible adult. The medication container must have the dispensing instructions noted on it. At school, the medication will be kept under lock and key and only one person will administer the medication. A record is kept of the medication that is administered to each child. Note: Inhalers are allowed in the student's possession at all times. Illness and Accidents If a child must go home because of an injury or illness, it is the parent/guardian's responsibility to pick up the child at school. When a situation appears to be life threatening, the staff will act on the side of caution and will call an ambulance. The cost of the ambulance is the responsibility of the parent/guardian. If parents cannot be reached in the case of an emergency, the emergency phone number becomes crucial and is contacted. |
