Before a school staff member will issue medication to a student, written parental permission must have been received and approved by the Headmaster. (Download a copy of the Medication Form here.)
The school will maintain a written health information record from parents on each student at Veritas Christian Academy. The form will include questions as to whether the school staff may administer Tylenol or Calamine medications on an “as needed” basis. Without written permission, school staff may not administer such medications.
Under no circumstances will Veritas staff administer performance-enhancing drugs to students. “Performance enhancing” drugs are defined as “any medication, prescription or over the counter, that has as a primary purpose to alter the behavior of the individual receiving it (i.e., Ritalin, Dextrostat, etc.).”
Under no circumstances may a student possess any form of medication at Veritas. This would include any prescription or over the counter medication including, but not limited to, Tylenol, Midol, cough drops, or cold medication.
Cough Drops
- Teachers in Grades K – 6 will be responsible for dispensing cough drops to their students provided a Medication Administration Form is on file in the office signed by the parent giving approval. Parents will be responsible for supplying cough drops for their children.
- For grade 7 - 12, students will be allowed to keep their own supply of cough drops provided they have a Medication Administration Form on file in the office signed by the parent giving approval.
