SAFE ADMINISTRATION OF MEDICATION IN SCHOOL: POLICY STATEMENT
The CNG medication policy prioritizes the safety and well-being of students by ensuring that any medication, whether prescription or non-prescription, is only administered under appropriate circumstances, and with proper authorization it takes into account various scenarios where medication might be required and outlines clear procedures for administration.
If CNG school learns that a student has been diagnosed with a life-threatening food allergy, an individual healthcare plan and an emergency care plan should be developed and implemented to address the particular needs of the student. The plans should be developed in collaboration with the student’s parents and healthcare providers and revised according to their age and developmental level. Familiarize yourself with the CNG Policy on using Epi-Pen during school hours and school-sponsored activities. Please use the following links below for medical and medication forms.
