Medication at School
Lately we had a couple incidents of students carrying and consuming medications on the bus. This is in violation with our school policy and the Ohio Revised Code. Please refer to our school's medication policy below and follow the guidelines for medication administration at school.
Sycamore Community Schools has a medication policy that is in compliance with the Ohio Revised Code.
The policy requires:
- Medication should not be given at school unless it is absolutely necessary for the health and well-being of the student.
- A Physician/Dentist Medication Orders Form must be on file at school, signed by a parent/guardian and a physician, before prescribed medication or over-the-counter medication may be administered. It is also needed for students to carry inhalers or Epi-Pens (epinephrine autoinjectors). Any changes in a medication order require a revised statement signed by the physician. If a student does not take a daily scheduled medication for more than 30 days, a new order is required.
- A new Physician/Dentist Medication Orders Form is required each year for ongoing medication. All medication must be picked up by a parent/guardian at the end of the school year. If it is not picked up, it is discarded.
- Medication must be in the original container.
- Students may not transport medication to school.
- The exception is inhalers or Epi-Pens which, with a completed Physician/Dentist Medication Orders Form, may be transported by a student. Parents are requested to provide a back-up inhaler and are required by law to provide a back-up dose of Epi-Pen.
- Only the school nurse, a substitute nurse, the principal, or a person designated by the principal, are authorized to administer medication at school. If an Epi-Pen is administered, emergency services will be called.

Lost and Found
We have a good amount of items in our lost and found. You may want to have a look through the items before the New Year, at which time, if things are still left in the lost and found, they will be donated to Matthew 25.
We recommend you put your student's name on the following items to avoid them being put in the lost and found:
- coats
- hats
- gloves/mittens
- snow pants/snowsuits
- boots
- shoes
- water bottles
- lunch boxes
- anything of importance or value
We try really hard to return items back to their owners, however, a name on the item would make it so much easier.
Box Tops
Thank you, from the nurse!
Thank you to all the wonderful parents who donated clothes to our clinic stock. We have plenty now and we'll let you know when our stock will deplete again.
