PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION
- Pharmacy labeled prescription bottle with student’s name, medication, and directions on how to give.
- Written parental/guardian permission for each medication.
- Permission form must include the dosage and time medication is to be administered. It must match the labeled prescription bottle, or have the physician provide a written permission for the changes.
NON-PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION
(over the counter medication)
- Medication must be in the drug manufacturer’s original container.
- Written parental/legal guardian permission for each medication.
- Permission form must include the dosage and time medication is to be administered.
- Please do not send medication to school in Baggies, or unlabeled containers. Your child will not be allowed to take it, and the medication will be destroyed.
- Medications will not be provided by the school.
DISCIPLINE POLICY
- Lexington School District Two has district-wide middle and high school discipline policies, which are mandated.
- The purpose of these policies is to ensure that all students receive fair and consistent discipline when school rules and/or state laws are violated.
- The Board believes that school safety is of paramount importance. Therefore, they support a ZERO TOLERANCE discipline approach aimed at creating schools that are free from the problems of dangerous weapons and drugs. ZERO TOLERANCE specifically carries an immediate recommendation of expulsion for any student who knowingly and willingly possesses or transfers weapons and/or drugs at school or at any school-sponsored event.
- Parent contact will be attempted prior to disciplinary action when possible. However, time and demands of the day or a particular situation may not always allow contact before the student is disciplined. In any case, parents will receive notice in the mail and students will always have a copy to take home on the same day of the offense.
