Clinic
Medication
Our clinic strictly complies with State of Georgia and Gwinnett County Public Schools guidelines for administering medications. Students must have the Administration of Medication Request form completed and signed by a parent or guardian before any medication (over-the-counter or prescription) will be dispensed. No over-the-counter medications are provided by the school nor are they dispensed in the clinic. All prescription medications must be clearly identified and supplied in the original container with instructions. NO LOOSE PILLS OF ANY KIND WILL BE ACCEPTED IN A BAGGIE. Inhalers may only be carried with the student if the doctor supplies a letter specifically stating that the student "must carry the inhaler at all times." Otherwise, all inhalers must be kept in the clinic. Injections must have the Administration of Medication Request AND the Injection Permit Form. All medication not retrieved by the parent by the last day of the school year will be disposed of in accordance with state pharmacy regulations. Students who have over-the-counter medicines in their possession will be subject to the discipline procedures as outlined in the GCPS Discipline Handbook.
