• For the safety of all students at our school, the following guidelines should be followed when requesting administration of medications at school:

I. Only those medications required during school hours should be administered at school. Please check with your physician regarding the need for medications to be administered during school hours.

II. All medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, must be accompanied by a completed Administration of Medication Request form and brought to the school clinic by an adult. Students may not transport medications to school. 

III. All medications must be in an original child-proof container. Prescription medications must be in their labeled prescription bottle. School staff will only administer medication according to the directions on the label.  

IV. Any medications remaining at the end of the school year must be picked up or school staff will dispose of them. 

V. Students may only carry medication as prescribed by law with the required documentation. Please check with our school clinic worker if your child needs to carry emergency medications with them. 

• When a student is sent to the clinic, the student must bring a clinic pass. This pass is in triplicate. One copy is kept in the clinic, one by the teacher, and one is sent home to the parent/guardian. 
• It is asked that parents have open communication with their child concerning the clinic. 
• First aid consists of washing the injured area and bandaging. 
• Please check any wound carefully when your child gets home to prevent infection. 
• Note that at no time will medication be given without first contacting family/guardian.

The Clinic is very low on donated clothes for accidents during the school day. We accept blue jeans, long and short sleeve shirts, underwear, socks, and belts. Items must be thoroughly cleaned and have working buttons and zippers. No holes, but a little wear and tear  fine.

Gwinnett County Public Schools and the State of Georgia do not provide funding for clinic equipment and supplies. W. C. Britt Elementary requests that our parents make a contribution of $5 per student or $10 per family to the clinic. Your support is greatly appreciated.
