ROCKY RUN CLINIC NOTES 
MEDICATION/TREATMENT ADMINISTRATION
In compliance with the Virginia Nurse Practice Act, we do not administer or supervise medication (prescription or over the counter medications) and/or medical treatment without a physician's order. In order to comply with SCPS regulations, we need a parent/guardian and physician signature for all medication/treatment administration. A new permission form must be completed and on file at the school annually for any medication/treatment. Most frequently used health care plans and the medication /treatment form are on the Health Services Forms Link at the top of this page.
Individual arrangements need to be made for transporting medication to and from the school. It is preferred that students do not transport medication to or from school. All medications must be presented in their original pharmacy container with the student's name, name of medication, name of prescribing physician, and dosage with beginning and ending date. This medication must be accompanied by physician's medication order and parental permission for administration.
All medications/supplies must be picked up by parents by the last day of school or they will be discarded by school personnel.

Rising 6th Grade Students

Please review your child’s shot record. No student will be admitted to a Stafford Middle School in September without this immunization.
