Medication Guideline Changes:

Dear Parents/Guardians,

In order to more fully align our daily practices in the health offices with the current school board policy we are implementing a change to the medication policy. Beginning on Monday, October 31, 2022, we will no longer be able to administer any medication to your student without a prescription. This means that all medications, including over-the-counter medications, will require a prescription from a licensed physician before we are able to administer them. Please remember that all medications must be brought in by a parent or guardian for legal and safety reasons. Any medications previously dropped off must be picked up by an adult by Thursday, November 3, 2022. A more detailed note about this change was sent home with students last week. If you have any questions or need a copy of the note please contact the health staff at your student’s school.

Thank you,

Marie Roake, Cardinal Middle & High School Nurse

Danielle Krebs, Jordak Elementary Health Aide
