Medication is due by Thursday evenings rehearsal! If needed, Grand Nationals medication may be brought on Wednesday after state.
Please follow the guidelines below when bringing medication to be administered at an off-site activity/trip:
1. A separate request form is required for each medication.
2. For student safety, all medication should be brought to the band nurse and director by the parent prior to the activity/trip. All medication must be in an original, properly labeled container and should be provided to the school with only the number of doses that are to be administered during the activity/trip. Prescription medications must be counted by the parent, director, and the band nurse.
3. All medication will be administered according to the labeled instructions or doctor’s orders. Aspirin and aspirin containing products will not be administered without a doctor’s order.
4. Medication that is expired will not be given. Medication will be destroyed if not picked up by the parent within 2 weeks following the activity/trip.
5. Nonprescription, homeopathic medication, dietary supplements and herbal supplements will only be given in accordance with Prosper ISD Board Policies FFAC (LEGAL) and FFAC(LOCAL) and District medication guidelines.
6. Campus administration will designate a PISD employee (director and band nurse) to administer student medications during this activity/trip. This staff member will be responsible for maintaining medications and request forms in a secure location, and for administration and documentation of the medications according to District guidelines. The school nurse will review medication request forms and provide training to the staff member(s) designated for this activity/trip.
NOTE: If medications are found on the student’s person or in his/her belongings that are not accounted for by written request form and are not approved as a self-carry medication by form on file with the school nurse, the student may be subject to disciplinary action.
