If your children have special medical needs, we have forms available for diabetic needs, treatments, medications and procedures in the clinic. We have also included links to documents from Prince William County Schools at www.pwcs.edu.
Medications given at school require permission forms and original containers. Please, pay special attention to age-appropriate medications. Adult medications cannot be given to children without a doctor’s order. It is also important to carefully check expiration dates on all medications. Each child must have his own medications and forms filled out. The medications are filed and locked up in the clinic.
Here are some of the regulations and forms that you might find helpful:
- 755-1 Immunization Requirement
- 723-4 Tuberculosis Screening
- 757-2 Allergy Action Form (Required for Epi-Pen)
- 757-3 Guidelines and Form for School Staff to Carry Out Health Treatments and/or Emergency Treatment Procedures in the School Setting
- 757-4 Administration of Medication
- 757-5 Asthma Medication Authorization Form
- 757-6 Diabetic Health Treatment Plan/Administration of Insulin/Glucagon
- 757-7 Management of Epileptic Seizures in the School Setting
- Flu season is starting: keep warm, eat healthy foods and get plenty of rest.
FLU SYMPTOMS:
*Fever (usually high)
*Muscle & joint aches & pain around the eyes
*Generalized weakness
*Headaches
*Dry cough
*Sore throat & watery discharge from your nose
Having a high fever might be the start of the flu - see your Doctor immediately. The antiviral medications that the Doctor prescribes are more effective within the first 48 hours.
Why Breakfast?
Still don't believe that eating breakfast is the most important thing you will do all day? Start your day off right by eating a nutritious breakfast and not only will you be less likely to crave fattening snacks during the day, you will also have the energy to accomplish mental and physical tasks. Do yourself and your kids a favor by getting up early enough to eat a healthy meal. Your body and your kids' grades will reflect the change!
