SERVICES WE PROVIDE
Each student in the Potlatch School District must submit a Student Medical History Form. Please complete this form and return it to your student's school. The information provided to the school on this form allows us to develop individualized care plans for your student, should those be needed. It also keeps us informed of any health concerns you may have so we may better address the needs of our students. This information is kept confidential.

MEDICATIONS IN SCHOOL
A signed Medication Authorization Form is required for any medications to be given to your child at school. This form will also need to be signed by your medical provider for all prescription medications with dosage instructions. All medications, including over-the-counter meds, such as Tylenol or allergy medicine, need to be provided in the original container along with the Medical Authorization Form signed by the parent/ guardian with instructions for dosage, frequency and use.
