Medication Guidelines
Care Plans/Action Plans
To ensure we have the most current health information, complete the Annual Data Update through the Infinite Campus parent portal. Health office cards are available in the school clinic.
To provide safe and appropriate care for your child at school, CSD requires updated health care plans and emergency care plans at the beginning of the school year for students who require school-based health services or have a medical condition that may need monitoring or treatment during the school day. If your child has a condition such as asthma, diabetes, seizures, severe allergies/anaphylaxis, or another health condition requiring medical care at school, please submit the appropriate, completed health forms to the school clinic on or before the first day of school.
Medication at School
Parents/guardians must sign and date an “Authorization of Medication” administration form for all medication. Parents or guardians must drop off all medications at the clinic.
- Prescription medication requires a healthcare provider’s signature and completion of the provider’s section of the authorization. Medication must be in the original pharmacy-labeled container with the most recent fill date. The pharmacy label details must exactly match the authorization form, and the physical medication must match the pharmacy label description.
- Over-the-counter medication must be in the original, unopened manufacturer’s container. A physician's signature is required for doses that exceed established amounts for age or weight as printed on the manufacturer’s instructions.
Self-Carry Authorization
Students authorized to carry and self-administer emergency medication (e.g., epinephrine auto-injector, inhalers, insulin/diabetes supplies) must have both the "Authorization for Medication Administration" and the "Authorization for Student to Carry Medication" forms completed and on file in the clinic. Access the required Health Forms here.
School Health Clinic Visits:
Students exhibiting symptoms of illness will be referred to the school clinic for evaluation and care. All symptomatic students will be sent home from school. We kindly ask that you arrange for your child to be picked up within one hour of being called.
