New information about Distribution of Medications
A state law and Hamblen County Schools policy requires all prescription and non-prescription medications being taken by students to have forms completed by the parents allowing the child to take these medicines. Prescription medications require a doctor’s signature and a parent’s signature on the proper form. Non-prescription medicines, such as Tylenol, cough drops, or Calamine lotion require a parent’s signature on the form. Parents are required to bring all medications into the school and fill out the proper forms to allow the child to take the medicine. Also, all non-prescription medications should be sent to the school in the original packaging. Medicine sent to school with the child cannot be taken without parents completing the consent forms. Forms are available in the office or you may request one from your child’s teacher.
PARENTS--- IF YOU HAVE ANY PHONE NUMBERS SUCH AS WORK NUMBERS, CELL PHONE NUMBERS, OR HOME PHONE NUMBERS THAT HAVE CHANGED SINCE SCHOOL BEGAN, PLEASE SEND A NOTE TO YOUR CHILD’S TEACHER IN ORDER FOR US TO UPDATE THESE IN THE OFFICE. THANKS!
