Our clinic staff will administer minor first aid, prescription drugs, and long-term medication. Over-the-counter medication will be administered only when a parent request is furnished in writing for a specific reason and day. When parents bring medication to school, detailed instructions should be provided on the school form along with the medication in the original container. Should your child require long-term medication, several weeks to indefinite in length, our clinic staff will dispense medication only after your doctor has written specific instructions that include the exact dosage to be given. We also require documentation to administer medication for specific known medical problems (e.g. severe allergies).

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

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

List of Gwinnett County Medical Forms
Forms are available by request from the school clinic.

No prescription or over-the-counter medications (Tylenol, aspirin, Pepto Bismol, etc.) should be sent to school with students. Parents must hand deliver medications to the clinic. According to school bus rules, students are not permitted to have tobacco, alcohol, or any controlled substances (Ritalin, Adderall, etc.) on the bus. The safety of your child as well as other children is the primary consideration behind this rule.

The clinic depends on your donations for supplies for the clinic, such as band-aids, zip-lock sandwich bags, and tissues. Also, the clinic is always in need of gently used or new boy's and girl's pants in sizes 6 to 14. Any donations would be greatly appreciated.
