Good Morning HHS Students and Families,
I am sending out this reminder to ALL high school parents/guardians regarding medication authorization and action plans. If your child will require ANY medication during the school day, a medication authorization form must be on file. This is a two-page document that requires an MD/NP/PA signature, as well as a parent signature, and will be on file in the nurse's office. Please make sure BOTH sides of the form are filled out and turned in to either the front office or the nurse's office, by the first day of school. Please note that a new medication authorization form and action plan (if indicated), are required each school year, they do not carry over.
Additionally, if your student needs emergency medication for allergies/asthma/seizures, please ensure that an action plan is also completed and on file no later than the first day of school.
*** Unless a provider selects that a student can take their medication independently, it will be kept in the nurse's office. ***
All forms can be found below.
Please contact me with any questions or concerns.
Sincerely,
Natalie Propst, BSN, RN
Highland High School Nurse
