If he needs medicine, during the day, how does this work? Is there a nurses office? Thank you
If a student requires medication during school hours, the process is managed through the health office to ensure safety and compliance with California law.
Medication Administration Process
Students may receive medication under the following conditions:
- Written Authorization: Both a parent/guardian and a licensed physician must provide written orders for the medication.
- Required Form: The Parent/Guardian and Authorized Health Care Provider Request for Medication form must be completed.
- Original Packaging: Medication must be delivered in its original, pharmacy-labeled container.
- Scope: This applies to both prescription and over-the-counter medications.
Huntington Seacliff Elementary has a dedicated health office staffed by professionals who manage medication administration and other health services. The school is located at 6701 Garfield Avenue, Huntington Beach, CA 92648. For inquiries, you can contact the school office at 714-841-7081 or reach out to the district's Health Services department at 714-378-2037 for broader health policy questions. It is also important to keep your child's emergency contact information updated, as students cannot be released for health reasons without proper authorization from a parent or authorized adult.
