Medicine/Rx Policy
During the registration process for a graduation event, a student must submit a list of medicines (over the counter and prescription) s/he intends to bring to the event. With the exception of an EpiPen, inhaler, or insulin delivery device, all medications (over the counter and prescription) are required to be checked-in to the designated chaperone for safekeeping. All medication must be in its original container and must be examined by the volunteer at the Medical Check-In table during the bus loading process. Students may access their medication by going to the designated chaperone during the events. Upon returning to Gunn, the medications will be returned to the students. If an unforeseen health issue arises and the student needs to bring a previously undeclared medicine, it must be presented at the Medical Check-in table with a signed note from a parent or a legal guardian stating the health condition and the name of the medication in order for the organizers to accept the medication. Please make sure the medication is in its original container.
