[QUOTE="smallworld, post: 67352, member: 2423"] Sara, it may be different in every school district, but in ours, we are required to fill out a health/emergency form that asks what medications/doses our children are taking. As other posters have stated, I always fill it out honestly because it is important for health care professionals to know what is in my children's bloodstreams in the very unlikely event they ever need treatment or are taken to a hospital without my being able to accompany them. These health/emergency forms are confidential and are not shared with teachers. I don't make it a practice to share medications/doses with teachers unless there is a need to know (for example, one of my kids is taking a medication that is sedating, and there's a chance he/she might fall asleep in class the first few days on the medication).
