For those of you that are lucky (like myself) and give the prescription meds at school what is your take on giving ADHD meds at 8AM. My position is that unless it is ordered by Dr. or DHS has order it has to be given at school then it should be given at home before 8AM. At this time I am giving 5 students meds at 8AM. But I am being told I have to give these because their parents wont give at home. Now I dont mind giving the meds that is not the problem. The problem is the teachers are of course saying the students are not being able to focus until about 10 and they are having to test later for that student. Or students behavior is awful until the meds kick in. Well yeah if it was given at 6:30-7AM like it should then by the time they got to school it would be in their system. There is only one student that DHS has ordered for his meds to be given at school the others are just parents not wanting to have to get up and give it. These kids k-3 are getting themselves up in the mornings and getting on the bus! I cant get my admin to understand that a BID order for ADHD meds means the first is given in the morning before school and the other is given at lunch which would be where I come in. You know dont listen to the one medical person on staff. I am asking for a policy change next year but I wanted to know if any of you might have some insight.
