Any medication that a student may need during the school day, both prescription and over the counter, will be handled according to recommended Conroe ISD policy and procedure, TEA recommendations and FDA guidelines.
- All medications must be stored and given in the school clinic.
- For your child’s safety, medications cannot be transported to or from school on the bus
- All medicines must be brought to the school and signed in by the parent/guardian.
- All medication must be in their original labeled container.
- Dosage for both prescription and non-prescription medications will be administered according to labeled instructions.
- Over-the-counter medication dosage must not exceed the dose recommendation listed on the bottle. (Exception: A physician or dentist may write a note for a different dosage if needed.)
- The use of “sample” medication from the physician, dentist, or orthodontist must have signed written instructions from the doctor accompanied by the parent’s written permission.
- The Surgeon General, the Food and Drug Administration and the Center of Disease Control have recommended that due to the increased risk of developing “Reyes Syndrome” ( a serious and sometimes fatal disease), aspirin or products containing salicylate should not be given to children under 18 years. If your physician orders aspirin for your child a written directive from your physician will be required along with written parent permission.
- All medication may be picked up at the end of the school year. Per CISD policy, leftover medication will be discarded.
