There are standing orders from our school doctor when paired with parent permission for specific medications including:
Tylenol for headache or fever over 100 and parent can not pick up for over an hour
Ibuprofen for pain, menstrual cramps, or headache
Benadryl- for hives/bee stings but student must be monitored for 6 hours following administration and should be picked up from school
PLEASE NOTE: You must fill out the PowerSchool form giving permission for these medications. They can not be given without parent permission. This information is emailed over the summer and can be found under the Health Information/Emergency Medical Information tab.
All other medications, including over-the-counter medications, must have a doctor’s order with parent permission. The nurse is unable to give medication without the doctor’s order. Medication needs to be in the original bottle from the pharmacy with the pharmacy label attached. Please do not hesitate to call if you have any questions.
Medication is not permitted to be carried by students unless it is an emergency medication as outlined by the state of Pennsylvania. Emergency medications are defined as asthma inhalers, epi pens, glucose, and insulin.
MEDICAL INFORMATION:
Please reach out if your child has any medical conditions that would need attention during the school day. There are some conditions that need emergency care plans in place for the safety of your child. It is best to talk to the nurse directly about any medical concerns.

The flu clinic is scheduled for Monday, October 21, 2024. If you are interested please fill out the flu permission forms and return them to me by October 15th. Email forms to: hetricke@jtowndrakes.org
