Health Conditions:
If your student has a health condition that the school needs to be aware of, please make sure to notate it during Back-to-School Registration under the Health Questionnaire step. School nurses can help create Emergency Healthcare Plans.
Medications:
- Students in elementary school are not allowed to carry or self-administer any medications while at school per CSD Policy. This includes over-the-counter as well as prescription medications.
- Exceptions: There are certain life-saving medications that an elementary student is allowed to carry with the proper paperwork in place at the school. These are asthma inhalers, epi-pens, and diabetic supplies. A Canyons Medication Authorization Form is still required which will indicate that the student will carry these medications at school.
- Medications can only be administered by the designated trained personnel/office staff. Teachers cannot accept any medications from the student or parent.
- Parents must bring the medication into the main office, in the original container, with a Canyons Medication Authorization Form, signed by the doctor and the parent.
- A new Canyons Medication Authorization Form is required every school year.
