4. Non-prescription medication will be treated the same (including items such as cough drops). Exception: A student may possess and use headache medication while on school property or at school-sponsored events without a physician's note or prescription if the medication is regulated by the United States Food and Drug Administration for over-the-counter use to treat headaches.

Students in the Clinic

Clinic facilities are not available for extended periods of time. Children who are unable to return to class will need to go home. Injuries and illness that occur outside of school hours need to be treated before the child returns to school. It is extremely important to have current phone numbers and other emergency contact information on file.  In the event of an emergency, injury or illness, we must have someone to contact. If a student needs to be excused from physical education because of a physical limitation, please submit a written note to the teacher. Continued limitations will re-require a doctor’s written excuse on file.
