HEALTH CENTER UPDATE
Dear Parents and Guardians,
There has been a change in Scottsdale Unified School District (SUSD) guidelines regarding the medication that is given out in our school Health Centers. Previously, the consent to give medication was on the back of your student’s emergency card. It gave our school nurses the option of administering a limited amount of over-the-counter (OTC) medications (like Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Tums, etc.). This has changed.
We now need you to complete a Medication Administration Record. Also, you must provide only the specific, age-appropriate medication (as listed on the medication) and it must be in an original, sealed container before any over-the-counter medication will be given to your child.
We are sorry for any inconvenience this may cause you or your student, but this new guideline is in the best (and safest) interest of all our students. Please feel free to call your student’s school nurse or to stop by your school’s Health Center for more information or to provide the proper medication and documentation for your student.
