Tanglen Med Consent Forms/Illness Exclusion Guidelines/Health Care Plans (1.14 MB)

A medication permission form must be completed and signed by a parent for
ALL medication brought to school. All meds must be brought to school in the
original labelled container. For prescription meds, BOTH a parent and a MD
signature is needed.

If your child has a chronic medical condition i.e. Asthma or Allergies that
require medication at school, then the appropriate forms need to be
completed by a physician and signed by BOTH parent and MD. New forms need
to be completed at the beginning of every school year and returned to the
school nurse.
