Disaster Medication Consent Letter
The Temple City Unified School District recognizes that there is always the possibility of a major disaster/earthquake in our area and is concerned about the health and welfare of our students in such an event. Each of our sites has formulated a disaster plan to protect those in our care and has had practice drills so both staff and students will know what to do.
Another very real concern to us is the health of those students who require daily medication, e.g., diabetes, seizure, asthma, or cardiac medications, to maintain an adequate level of functioning during this time.
We would like to be of assistance to your child’s school, if such an emergency occur. We suggest sending the following to the school health office:
- Disaster medication consent form signed by you and your child’s physician (attached).
- A 3-day supply of medication in an appropriately labeled container (see medication consent form for details).
At the end of the school year the medication will be returned to you. No medication will be carried from one school year to another.
