Medication Information

If a student must take medication, they should do this at home whenever possible. Per the Luck School District Policy # 5330: In the event a student must take medication at school, proper written consent must be given to school personnel to administer the medication.

Each medication requires a separate authorization form and must be renewed each year:

For non-prescription medications - Parent/Guardian completes the Medication Authorization Form

For prescription medications - Parent/Guardian AND Medical Provider must complete the Medication Authorization Form

No medication will be administered or kept on hand by school personnel until the consent forms are completed and on file with the school.  Medication authorization and administration forms will be kept and stored confidentially. No medications, other than those designated as emergency, may be carried/self-administered at school.  Students who self-administer medication must have a medication authorization form on file at school.

All medication must be in the original container, non-prescription and prescription.  All prescription medication(s) must have a pharmacy label. Pharmacy will provide an extra container for school if medication must be taken during the day. If the prescription requires a child to receive half tablets, but the tablets at home or have the pills cut at the pharmacy filling the prescription. Pills will not be cut at school. All medication will be kept in a securely locked cabinet or storage area only accessible to those who have been given the authority to administer medication to students. 

Parents are responsible for bringing medication to school and picking up unused medication within 10 days after the medication is discontinued. Students are not allowed to transport their medication(s). Current school policy does not allow non-FDA approved drugs (herbal and dietary supplements) to be administered at school without written instructions from a licensed practitioner. No CBD products will be permitted for use at school.

Under Wis. Stat. 118.29(2)(a)(3), anyone with the authority to administer a non-prescription or prescription drug to a student, excluding nurses, is immune from civil liability unless the act or omission constitutes a high degree of negligence.

Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.

What You Can Do and Our Cleaning Measures

Luck School District has a routine cleaning regimen in place to help reduce the spread of germs and communicable disease. In addition to our regular cleaning and disinfection, we are increasing the cleaning of high-touch areas and hard and soft surface items throughout the day. We will follow all guidelines of the CDC and our local and state health departments.

We all play a role in helping reduce the spread of communicable disease. We are asking our students, staff and families to practice regular preventive actions (see flyer in English, Spanish, Hmong and Mandarin Chinese) including:

• Wash your hands regularly, for 20 seconds, using soap and hot water. Make sure to wash your fingertips. This is especially important after using the restroom, coughing or sneezing into your hands, and before preparing or consuming food.
• Avoid coughing or sneezing into your hands or in the air. Always try to cough or sneeze into a tissue, and then throw the tissue away. If you don’t have a tissue, cough/sneeze into your arm.
• As much as you can, avoid touching your eyes, mouth and nose.
• If children are feeling sick, please keep them home from school. Families should have a plan in place for keeping your child home, picking up your child if they are sent home sick, and if schools are closed.

Protect Yourself and Those Around You

The link below includes guidelines to help parents and school districts determine when to keep children/students home from school. The recommendations are based on guidelines provided by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and state public health professionals. They were developed to help prevent the spread of potentially contagious disease. Home is the best place for a child who is ill. If your child is sick with a diagnosed communicable disease, please notify the school as soon as possible. This notification will greatly assist others who, due to medical reasons and/or treatments, have weakened immune systems and may require immediate and specialized care.
