Medication at SchoolMedication should be given at home whenever possible. However, if a medication must be administered during school hours (prescription or over-the-counter), proper authorization must be provided to the school which is as follows:Written permission using the school district's "Medication Authorization Form", that both parent/guardian and the student's licensed healthcare provider must complete. The medication must be brought in by the parent in the original pharmacy labeled container. In addition to the medication authorization form, treatment plans are required to be completed by the healthcare provider and signed by the parent/guardian for the following health concernsFood Allergy Food Allergy and Anaphylaxis Emergency Care PlanAsthma Asthma Management Healthcare PlanSeizures Seizure Action PlanDiabetes Diabetes Medical Management PlanStudents are not permitted by law to carry or self-administer medication, with the exception of insulin, asthma inhalers and emergency epinephrine, and then only if written authorization for this self-administration is provided by the parent/guardian and the student’s healthcare provider.

We ask that sick children remain at home if their illness is, or may be, contagious and could cause illness in other children. We ask your cooperation in informing the school nurse of any known illness as soon as possible so we can detect similar illness in others. If your child becomes ill at school, you are responsible for picking up your child. If you cannot pick up your child you must have alternative pick-up arrangements. When to Keep Your Child HomePlease keep your child home if they show any signs or

Symptoms of illness that is communicable/ contagious.Here are some guidelines:Temperature: Your child must remain home if he/she has a fever over 100.0, they must remain fever free for 24hrs without the use of fever reducing medication before returning to school.Diarrhea or Vomiting: Your child should be free of diarrhea or vomiting for 24 hours before returning to schoolContagious Disease/Condition: Your child must remain home when he/she shows symptoms of a contagious disease such as any communicable disease, including but not limited to strep throat, conjunctivitis (pink eye), flu, impetigo, ringworm, A Doctors note to return will be required for your child to return with any of these suspected conditionsHead lice: Anyone can get head lice. Having lice does not indicate poor hygiene. Head lice do not cause disease, but are a time-consuming nuisance. If the school nurse finds evidence of head lice, the child will be sent home at the end of the day for the parent to administer treatment. Family doctors, the school nurse, and pharmacists can provide treatment advice. Upon completion of this treatment, your child will be re-examined by the school nurse before returning to class. School policies indicate that nits (eggs) must be removed before returning to school. This is a time consuming but necessary task that helps ensure that the head lice do not spread to others. Please call the school nurse if you suspect head lice, so other siblings and children with close personal contact may be checked. 24hr Fever RuleIf you child has been sent home from school with symptoms of illness. Ridgefield Public Schools have a policy in place to ensure the health and safety of all students and states that students who exhibit vomiting, diarrhea, or a fever > 100 must be excluded from school.
