Medications on Campus
The school clinic is used for emergencies and student health care. Any student who is too ill to attend classes will be sent home.
The following standard first aid over-the counter medications/products have been approved by the Medical Advisory Committee:
- Bacitracin
- Vaseline/Petroleum jelly
- Hydrocortisone cream
- Bactine
- Anbesol
- Sting Kill
- Mouth wash
- Sterile isotonic eye wash solution
- Isopropyl alcohol
- Bausch & Lomb Sensitive Eyes Plus saline solution
Contact your school nurse by phone, email or in writing if you object to the use of any of the above products for your student.
*** Cough Drops, lozenges, and throat relief products require a physician order, and monitoring by the school nurse. NEISD policy doesn't apply to hard candy, however.
If students have a health concern requiring medication during the school day, a Medication Administration Request (MAR) form must be completed by the prescribing Texas licensed physician. Medications given 2-3x per day are generally expected to be given at home before and after school/in the evening.
Students who require procedures/treatments during the school day are required to submit the Physician/Parent Request for Administration of Procedures/Treatments form. Look here for the "Procedures Form".
These forms are available from the school nurse and on the NEISD website: https://www.neisd.net/Page/31039
