About the Clinic
Welcome to the Berkmar Middle School Clinic. Ms. Lepcadoa Pineda is present in our school to act as a liaison between home and school regarding health concerns and to serve as a health resource for you and your child. Please feel free to contact the clinic with any concerns or questions.
It is our desire to have a coordinated and well-communicated Health Management Plan for your child. A list of medical forms is available on the district website. Please request the appropriate forms from Ms. Pineda and complete them before meeting with her and your grade-level counselor. If you have any questions about the forms or wish to set up a team meeting to review the plan, please contact your grade-level counselor. Thank you!
Important Note: Gwinnett County regulations indicate that we must have
permission in writing to administer medication to your child.
Medications
For the safety of all students at our school, the following guidelines should be followed when requesting administration of medications at school:
- Only those medications required during school hours should be administered at school. Please check with your physician regarding the need for medications to be administered during school hours.
- All medications, both prescription and over-the-counter, must be accompanied by a completed Administration of Medication Request form and brought to the school clinic by an adult. Students may not transport medications to school.
- All medications must be in an original child-proof container. Prescription medications must be in their labeled prescription bottle. School staff will only administer medication according to the directions on the label.
- Any medications remaining at the end of the school year must be picked up or school staff will dispose of them.
- Students may only carry medication as prescribed by law with the required documentation. Please check with our school clinic worker if your child needs to carry emergency medications with them.
