| School Safety FIRE DRILLS The school is required by law to conduct monthly fire drills. When they are held, please realize that they are for your safety. Therefore, quiet and attention to the teachers in charge must be maintained. The routes for exit from each room are posted near the door of each classroom. Mountain View Lutheran School has a Crisis plan in place.

For a complete list of required immunizations, please call our school office or call the Clark County Health Department. MEDICATION Mountain View Lutheran School will give out prescription medication with documented permission. Because we are concerned about your child’s well being, the following rules must be followed in order for the school staff to give a child the required medication. Prescription Medication To Be Given At School Must Have: 1. A written order from the physician. 2. Parent/legal guardian signed permission. 3. Must come in the original container with the prescription label on it stating name of drug and dose. Student’s full name must be on the container. 4. Time to be given and other instructions, side effects, etc. must be in writing. Procedures for Medication: 1. All medication administered at school will be kept in the office. 2. Medication will be taken by the student at the designated time while supervised by the authorized personnel. 3. Refrigeration is available for medicine that needs to be kept cold. 4. Limited quantities of medication should be kept at school. Other Guidelines for Medication: 1. Parent must notify the school when the drug is discontinued and/or the dosage or time is changed. If the medication is resumed, a new order must be received by the school office. 2. The school is to keep an accurate and confidential record of medication received by each pupil. 3. Newly written orders from the doctor must be renewed annually for students on long-term medication. 4. No child may have any type of medicine (prescription or non-prescription, cough drops, etc.) on their person, in their desk or school bag at any time. This is for the safety of all!
