WILCO PRESCHOOL has been established in conjunction with the WILCO Area Career Center. The purpose of the

career center is to offer high school students the training necessary for employment upon completion of a selected program. Our program, Early Childhood Education, is designed to train high school students in observing and learning about the environment of early childhood education. With the assistance and supervision of the preschool director and other teachers, the students will plan activities and lessons to promote the intellectual, physical,

social-emotional, and language development of your child.

WILCO PRESCHOOL offers various morning as well as an all-day program. A registration fee and tuition are

Medication Authorization Form

1.	Authorized Wilco Area Career Center personnel will administer medication during the school day only when it is absolutely necessary for a student’s critical health and well-being. All medications, which include both PRESCRIPTION DRUGS and OVER-THE-COUNTER, to be taken during the school day will only be administered after the parent/guardian, and physician, Advanced Practice Nurse, or Physician Assistant completes the Wilco Area Career Center "Medication Authorization Form". The form is available from the building administration team in the Main Office. This form must be filled out at the beginning of each school year or when a new medication is to be given.

2.	The first dosage of medication should not be given at school in case the student suffers an allergic or other adverse reaction.

3.	Prescription Medication must be brought to school by a parent/guardian and must be in the original pharmaceutical container labeled with the student’s name, name of medication, the exact dosage and all pertinent instructions. Over-the-Counter medication must be brought to school by a parent/guardian in its original unopened / sealed container with the student’s name affixed to the container. If it is absolutely impossible for parents to bring the medication to school, we ask that students, upon their immediate arrival to school, turn the medication into the health office in a sealed envelope. Unused medication should be picked up by parent/guardian at the end of each school year. If the parent/guardian does not pick up the medication by the last day of school, the building administrative team will dispose of and document that medications were discarded. Medications will be discarded in the presence of a witness.

4.	Medication will be stored in the school in a safe place. The student must come to the school’s main office for his/her medicine. The school will strive to assist students to remember to come to the office to take his/her medication.

Students are prohibited from keeping any kind of medication in their possession while at school, except where a student is authorized to self-administer an epinephrine auto-injector (EpiPen®), diabetic care supplies, pancreatic enzymes, or asthma medication. Students must have the Emergency Medication Hold Harmless and Indemnity Form signed by their parents/guardian and physicians to keep their inhalers, diabetic care supplies, or epinephrine auto-injectors with them in school. In case of emergency or loss of these items, we recommend that these students also keep an additional inhaler, diabetic care supplies, or epinephrine auto-injector in the health office.

Acknowledging that occasionally a medication must be administered during the school day,

a registered professional nurse, if available, shall administer the medication. If a nurse is unavailable, a building administrator or another staff member who volunteers may either:

a. Supervise the self-administration of the medication; or

b. Administer the medication himself/herself.

Medications will generally not be administered to students during field trips or other school-sponsored activities located away from the customary site of storage of the medication. In these situations, medication will only be administered to a student if absolutely necessary for the critical health and well-being of the student as documented in a student’s individualized health care plan or Emergency Allergy Action Plan. Medication to be administered in these situations must be sent to school by a parent/guardian, in a pharmaceutical container labeled with the student’s name, name of medication, dosage and all pertinent instructions. The administration protocol will be determined by the Wilco administrative staff.

Wilco Area Career Center and its employees and agents are to incur no liability, except for willful and wanton conduct, as a result of any injury arising from the administration or self-administration of medication pursuant to these procedures.
