Clinic Newsletter

The Walton Co. Board of Education amended the way medications are to be delivered and administered at school. All medications that are to be administered at school must be accompanied by the Administration of Medication Request Form. All medications, both prescription and non-prescription, must be brought in to the school and signed in through the clinic by the parent/guardian, or by a responsible adult designated by the parent/guardian.

• Students are not allowed to transport medications to and from school.

• No medications sent in a plastic bag will be given.

• All medications, which are to be given for a period greater than 2 weeks, will require the form to be completed and signed by the students’ physician.

Administration of prescription and nonprescription medications, even for a short period of time, is discouraged. Parents/guardians should check with the student’s physician regarding the need for medication to be administered during school hours. Medications prescribed 3 times daily often can be administered before school, after school and at bedtime.

Georgia State law requires that all students have the following immunizations:

All immunizations need to be on a current 3231 form.
