Medicine Drop-Off Policy
-
Students should not carry medications, except emergency medications such as asthma inhalers, EpiPens, and Insulin and only with proper paperwork on file in the clinic. If your student needs medication during the school day, please contact the clinic for more information. You can also go to the FBISD website under At Risk department for information on student health services. The appropriate forms can be found here as well. https://www.fortbendisd.com/Page/888
All medications (prescription and non-prescription) must be furnished and delivered by the parent/guardian and appropriate medication administration forms must be completed by the parent/guardian. Medication will be delivered to the clinic by the parent/guardian in the original and properly labeled container and must be picked up by the parent/guardian or another adult which the parent/guardian can designate. The nurse and/or clinic assistant will administer all medications in the clinic with the exception of students that are required by their physician to carry inhalers or epipens with them at all times. In those situations, the doctor must provide written orders to the school.
Medication administration requests for greater than 15 school days must have the signature/directions of the physician. For prescription medications that are left at school, a second labeled container can be obtained from your pharmacy. When medication is discontinued, it must be picked up by the parent/guardian or it will be discarded.
