  • STUDENTS THAT REQUIRE MEDICATION DURING SCHOOL HOURS
    Many conditions can be treated at school with over-the-counter (OTC) medications and prescription medications.  With proper authorization, documentation and signatures arrangements can be made for medications to be given to students during school hours.  This may prevent loss of time out of school.  To have prescription or OTC medication administer at school:

    • Complete the Medication Authorization Form
    • Parent/guardian brings the prescription/OTC medication to the school clinic in the original container/packaging
    • Clinic staff will process order and verify medication amount with parent
    • Unused medications will be returned or destroyed per policy


    STUDENTS WITH ASTHMA AND ALLERGIES
    Older students who have a history of severe allergic reactions and asthma attacks may self-medicate in school if they have a current written prescription from the physician stating they may self-medicate and carry the medication on their person. The two forms necessary for students to carry their own medication on campus are:


    STUDENTS WITH DIABETES
    Students with diabetes have an additional form that needs to be filled out by a physician.

    I was contacted by the school and told my student was exposed to a Covid-19 positive person, how long is the quarantine? The CDC still recommends a 14-day quarantine for students after a confirmed exposure. However, ending a quarantine earlier may be an option if:

    1. The student has no signs or symptoms of COVID-19 or flu-like symptoms.
    2. The student takes a PCR Covid-19 test (not a rapid-test) on/after day 6 of quarantine.
    3. The student has a negative result and completes 7-days of quarantine.
    4. Without a PCR Covid-19 test, a student without symptoms of illness may return after quarantining 10 full days

    Is Manatee County an area of high community transmission? Yes, according to the Manatee County Health Department. As of 1/6/2021, Manatee County DOES meet the definition of an area of high or moderate transmission of Covid-19.

    What if I have additional questions about my student's exposure to Covid-19 or his/her situation? Please call the BRE Clinic at (941) 751-7012 ext. 57006 between 7:45AM and 3:45PM.
