Medication Policy

Use the following link to view the district medication policy for prescription medication and non-prescription medication and forms if needed.

https://www.usd232.org/departments/health-services/policies-screenings

If your student forgets to take medication before school or you bring medication for your student, you will be asked to stay and administer the medication to your student.

Illness

Please report any symptoms of illness to the school. Please be specific- report symptoms such as sore throat, nausea, fever instead of reporting “ill” or “sick”. Giving symptoms helps with Health Department reporting and to see illness trends in the district.

It is district policy to keep your student home until symptom free/fever free for 24 hours without medication. It will help to prevent the spread of illness.

Illness and Respiratory Viral Illness Policy (Covid, Influenza, RSV) can be found by clicking on the following links:
