Schedule for medication delivery set for Beauregard Parish schools
Beauregard Parish school nurses will be on hand to receive medications from parents/guardians for students with a prescription from their primary care professional, which must be dispensed during the school day. Certain documents, forms, and screenings are required in order for school nurses to dispense medications.
Parents need to fill out a request for medication administration at school, a confidentiality release, and Part I of the medication order form before attending the event. In addition, their child’s primary care professional must fill out and sign Part II and III (as applicable) of the Medication Order for the child to receive medication at school. The forms can be obtained at each Beauregard Parish school.
“Parents and guardians must bring their child with them to meet with school nurses according to the following schedule so that we can ensure that all required documentation and screenings are complete before the start of the new school year,” said Andrea Ferguson, BPSB Health Services Coordinator. “The required forms, along with the medication, should be brought to the meeting as well.”
Parents/guardians should plan to attend the meeting that corresponds with their child’s assigned school:
