<DIV>Hi all,</DIV>
<DIV>I realize the medication form for over the counter meds is a new
requirement this year, and appreciate your patience with this procedure.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>We need <STRONG>ALL pink med forms</STRONG> back so we know you have
attended to the form.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>New this year is the requirement of a doctor's signature for
non-prescription medications. This is a school district policy as mandated
by the state education code. Just as kids are not allowed to take Motrin
or Tylenol while at school, the district views the band trip as a "5 day long"
day at school - whatever rules apply on the DHS campus, apply to us while we
travel as the DHS Band. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>SO...............even if your child takes no regular medications, but you
want them to <STRONG>be able</STRONG> <STRONG>to take</STRONG> something if
needed for a headache, fever or whatever might occur, then you must have a
physician sign the pink med form. You need to list the potential
drugs you want your child to be able to take while on the trip, and have
the doctor sign it - with the dosages recommended for your child
listed (probably as directed on the package directions). If your child
should need any simple over the counter med while on the trip, we can only
officially give them that medication if the pink form is in our possession with
a doctor's signature. We understand how cumbersome this is, and that while
this is standard district policy, that it has not been well enforced by other
groups either. But we are a large visible group, and this year we must
fall in line with their policy - thus the pink forms. We passed out the
packets earlier this week to allow a bit of extra time for this
complication. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you don't want your child to be able to take anything while on the trip,
then just return the pink form anyhow with your students name at the top, so we
know you have thought about the matter.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Remember, all meds will be collected from the students at check in, placed
in zip lock bags clearly labeled, and kept by Mr. Lange or his designated
assistants for the entire trip. We will be carrying Motrin and
Tylenol, so there is no need to pack those medications, even if you have listed
them on the pink form. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Again, I apologize for this, but it is what we must do in order to take
this trip. </DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
