| Please review the following information carefully. For this school year, our process of medication drop-off will look a little different, so please pay particular attention to the following:
Students with Severe Allergies (life threatening/anaphylaxis):
Families of students with severe allergic reactions that may require the use of emergency epinephrine (EpiPen, Auvi-Q), MUST provide ECMCS with the appropriate device along with a completed Medication Order.
Students with Asthma or a respiratory condition (rescue inhaler):
Families of students who may need a rescue inhaler MUST provide one to ECMCS along with a completed Medication Order. Students age 11 and younger MUST provide a spacer device. Older students are allowed to bring in spacers, if preferred.
NOTE: Nebulizer treatments are NOT available in the Clinic this school year due to the risk of droplet transmission of respiratory illnesses. Please contact your healthcare provider to discuss alternative therapy options, as appropriate. Students who may require nebulizer treatments will need to be picked up from school.
Students with medications scheduled to be given during school hours (8:30am - 2:30pm):
All medication MUST be dropped off by a parent/guardian. The responsible adult will provide the completed Medication Order, perform a pill count (as appropriate) and record receipt of medication by staff. Specific Medication Orders are needed for Diastat and Insulin (attached).
We are able to accept medications when accompanied by a completed Medication Order (attached) AND delivered by a parent/guardian. Please DO NOT send in medication with your student.
Healthcare providers may fax medication orders to 843-216-8880, ATTN: Clinic.
Due to current limitations of visitors in the building, please email Suzanne Richardson, MSN, RN (suzannerichardson@montessoricharterschool.com) to schedule a drop-off meeting between 8:00a and 2:45p
