The Health Office at Lincoln will be closing for the summer on Monday, June 14. All medications need to be picked up by 12 noon on this day. Medication left after this time will be properly disposed of. We do not keep medication over the summer for the next school year.
All prescription medication for students will need to be renewed by a physician after July 1 for the new 2010/2011 school year. It is the parent/guardian (s) responsibility to bring the signed physicians order to school with the medication at the beginning of the year. This includes self –administration prescription medications that require a physician's signature that the student will self-carry. For example, this would include an asthma inhaler that a student keeps with them. Many health care providers are not accepting faxed med forms from the school any longer.
Over the counter medications will also need a new form signed at the beginning of the school year by the parent with medication in the original bottle. Due to limited storage space, please keep the size of the bottle appropriate for school. Please note the expiration date of the medication on the bottle before you bring it to school to be left for the year. Medication cannot be given at school after the expiration date noted on the bottle.
All medication forms are available off the school web site under Resources and then Student Health Services and then Forms.
Have a safe summer!
