Medication Administration

It is best practice to give any prescription medication to students at home, either before or after school hours; however, we recognize that students often require medications during school hours and therefore are able to assist with that administration process. In order to have a student receive a prescription medication during school hours, a form must be completed and returned to the school nurse. The form will be faxed to the medical provider for completion and records of medication administration are kept in the nurse’s office. Below is the link for that form.

School-Based Health Clinic

We are fortunate to have a school-based health clinic housed in our school. The clinic is a place where students may receive services without parents having to take a lengthy time away from work; there is a provider on site who can assist with diagnosing and treating health needs that may arise acutely, as well as facilitating necessary vaccines, sports physicals, and so much more. This is possible through a program with Penobscot Community Health Care (PCHC). Note: Your child does not need to be a PCHC patient to enroll in this program.
