When to Stay Home from School
Coming Back to School After Illness
Medication at School
It is always best to give medication at home whenever possible. Sometimes, a medication may need to be given to the student at school. Nursing Services has a Medication Administration Policy to ensure that medication is given safely at school. You must bring the proper forms in order for any medication to be given to your child at school. Over-the-counter medication must be in the original, unopened bottle that is properly sealed and labeled with the student’s name. Prescription medication must be in the original pharmacy container, which will be labeled with the date filled and all appropriate identifying information
- Do I need to fill out a form so my child can take medicine at school?
- If my child’s medication stays the same, but the dose or frequency changes, do I need to fill in a new form?
- Can my child carry medications in their backpack or lunchbox?
- Does the school provide any medications, like Benadryl cream or Tylenol?
- What about controlled medications?

Hearing and Vision Screening
The State of Georgia requires that all children entering a school in Georgia have an eye, ear and dental screening. These are recorded on form 3300.
We currently do not perform hearing or vision screens in our clinic. For more information about your form 3300 or about screening your child, please contact your pediatrician, eye doctor, dentist, or the Georgia Department of Health.
