Parents................ With cold & flu germs coming at us from all directions, please take a few minutes to review the online Student/Parent Resource Guide (pgs. 33 - 35) @ http://www.keyknox.com/elem/PDF%20Files/handbook.pdf for complete information on student medication.
Our school nurse is on duty in her office full time. She should be contacted in case of accident or illness. I have included a very small portion from the guide specific to medication below.
Due to Pennsylvania State Laws and Regulations the school nurse is no longer able to
administer ANY medications from home WITHOUT a doctor’s order and a parent
signature. (this includes over-the-counter medications, throat lozengers, and prescriptions.) A form is available in the nurse’s office or can be found on our website. All medications
(including over-the-counter and prescription medications) should be taken at home if at
all possible.
