LUNCH INFORMATION AND POLICIES CONT. Once a student’s meal account goes into the negative, and the limit is reached, the household will be notified, (through email or phone) that payment is required to keep receiving the full reimbursable meal. Students with food service accounts at the maximum charge limit will be offered a smaller alternate meal and the account will not be charged for this meal as it is not reimbursable. Delinquent debt will remain on the Food Service account until the end of the year and collection attempts will be made during this time. Delinquent debt will become bad debt at the end of the school year on any student(s) that has/have withdrawn from the school district or has/have graduated. At this time, the School District will reimburse the Food Service account for the amount of the bad debt. Any collections beyond that point belongs to the district. This policy will be provided to households through (the district calendar, with renewal paperwork, in the student handbook etc.) All Staff of the District will be informed of this policy at (in-service etc.). Documentation (calendar, handbook, flyer, in-service roster/agenda etc.) of the household and staff All medications must be kept in the health room and are administered by the health or delegated school staff during school hours. All medications MUST come to school in the original containers accompanied by a permission note from the parent. (Foil wrapped over-the-counter medications need to come in the box with the directions.) WE WILL NOT GIVE MEDICATIONS WITHOUT THIS CONTAINER. If the doctor gives a professional sample medication to use, we MUST have a doctor note or copy of a prescription for the drug. Parents/guardians should be responsible for transporting prescription medications to and from school for their students. If there are extenuating circumstances that prevent this from occurring, the school’s registered nurse needs to be notified. 1. Dosage changes from the medication pharmacy label: We need to be notified by a note from the doctor with the new dosage listed and new parent permission form needs to be signed. 2. Medications to be taken 3 times a day can usually be done before school, after school and bedtime, thus avoiding the need to take it at school. 3. We do NOT give aspirin or medications containing aspirin at school to children without a doctor’s order. This is due to the connection with Reye’s Syndrome. Herbal, natural and homeopathic remedies will not be administered at school without written authorization from the primary care physician. In most cases we do not give narcotics at school. The registered nurse (R.N.) in each school will make this decision. It is recommended that students recover from injuries or surgery at home and be able to switch to non-narcotic pain medications before returning to school. Parents or legal guardians may come to the school to administer the medications if they choose. Students are expected to bring prescription or non-prescription medication to the nurse’s office immediately upon arriving to school. SELF ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATIONS Medication (Epi-Pens/Inhalers) prescribed by a health care provider for the treatment of anaphylaxis or asthma may be carried by the student with the proper authorization from their physician, parent and school nurse. This will need to be renewed annually. notification will be kept on file in the Nutritional Services Department. MEDICATIONS AT SCHOOL PAGE 9
