Mission Statement
It is the goal or mission of the faculty and staff of Cape
Henlopen High School to provide an environment in

participation in numerous clubs, organizations and
teams, quality counseling services, an overall safe and
orderly atmosphere, and a comprehensive student
recognition and incentive program. Assessment and
improvement in these areas are conducted by students,
staff and parents to help identify areas and ways to
better serve our student population.

SST and CST meetings will be announced via a written notice. All staff involved are expected to attend.
TAM planning meetings need to be coordinated between TAM teachers. Some teachers may be TAMMING with more
than one colleague. Once the schedule has been established, a copy of the schedule must be given to the administrator
responsible for Special Education. This is to be completed by the end of the first week of school.
All staff members are expected to attend scheduled meetings (provided for in bargaining agreement). If there is a problem
with attendance on a particular day, you must see Mr. Waples prior to the scheduled meeting.
June staff meeting will be held as needed during the week of June 12, 2006.

FIRE DRILL PROCEDURES
1.
Fire drill procedures, including the route from your classroom to the outside and the location where your class is to
stand once outside, are to be taught to all of your classes during the first week of school. Routes and exits are marked
on posters in your classroom. If your classroom is missing its route sign, please notify Mr. Waples so that one can be
made for you.
2.
All personnel must evacuate the building unless you are assigned an in-building task for the fire drill.
3.
Teachers are to accompany and remain with their students to the fire evacuation areas using the denoted route.
4.
When you leave the building be sure that
•
•
•
5.
windows and doors are closed (NOT LOCKED)
students take valuables with them
classroom door windows are not to be covered. (Fire Code Reg.)
Teachers must take roll books with them and verify that all students have evacuated the building
Please remember that the fire drill is a rehearsal for the unfortunate occurrence of a real situation. We
have been fortunate in only having to deal with easily managed occurrences of the real hazard of a
building fire. Your continued cooperation in this matter is appreciated.

Student Phone Numbers/Addresses - It is recommended that you secure this information from the
students in your class. Having them complete a card with parent name, address, home and work

THE LAW: HB 322 & AMENDMENTS
Student Criminal Violations:
1.
Mandatory Complaints
School administrators must report to the local police authority, and must file a report on the indicated form, where probable
cause exists including:
a. Assaults and extortions involving students with students.
b. Assaults, extortions, offensive touching and terroristic threatening involving students, parents or guardians with
school employees.
c. Possession of controlled substances, dangerous instruments or deadly weapons.
If found to have committed such an offense, school administrators, without unreasonable delay, must file the appropriate
charge(s).
HB S5 excludes grades K-3 offenses committed between students but not if employees are involved (see b above).
Teachers who witness such acts of violence or find pupils in possession of weapons or drugs must notify an administrator
immediately.
Any teacher or administrator who fails to report such incidents shall be fined $250 for the first offense, and $500 for
subsequent offenses should a “good faith” effort not be found.
2.

4.
5.
OTHER IMPORTANT POINTS
HB 85 requires that a Memorandum of Agreement be developed between the school district and the local police agencies. Among
other important items, the Memorandum would also include:
1.
A requirement to report evidence of criminal offenses in school, in connection with buses or off school property when the
latter comes to the attention of the administrator.
HB 85 is included as part of Section 6 --in addition how crimes are reported is also included.
Other "heinous crimes" suggesting the commission of a felony, crimes of a sexual nature, abuse, organized gambling and the
like.
2.
3.
WHAT TO DO...?
You must report evidence of a criminal behavior as indicated in HB 85 and in the Memorandum of Agreement, so....
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Understand what is expected.
Use common sense.
Make a "good faith" effort in investigation.
Document your efforts.
Be timely and react in an appropriate amount of time.
Understand the key terms and their definitions.
OTHER IMPORTANT POINTS
1. when you review school rules at the beginning of school include a discussion of the definition of both assault (when one student
violently attacks another) and extortion (see definition sheet).
2. Questions always arise concerning fights:
a.
b.
c.
d.
e.
f.
If two are involved, and no one is hurt, it is usually considered disorderly conduct and does not have to be reported to
the state.
If one student quits and the other continues that would probably fit the definition of assault.
Offensive touching, menacing and harassing behaviors between students do not have to be reported
Terroristic threats, on the other hand, are reported.
If an injury is involved the situation should always be reported.
All reports to the office will be both verbal and in written form, and should be submitted in a timely fashion (within
two days).

PROCEDURE FOR NOTIFICATION OF SENIOR FAILURES
1. During the 1st marking period, the counselors will report to you the names of seniors who
need one or more elective courses for graduation. Teachers are to give particular attention to
these seniors.
2. After interim notices are sent each marking period, if a senior has a grade below 77, follow
up with a telephone call to parents if they don't contact you. A written record is to be kept on
all parent contacts with date, time, reason for contact and who was contacted.
3. At the end of the third marking period, teachers will give a list of potential senior failures to
the principal. All parents of these students will be sent a certified letter.
4. A student whose performance has been a "C" or better up to the 4th quarter and whose work
falls below "C" at any time during this quarter, will have their parents notified at least by
telephone.
5. Counselors will meet with potential failing seniors at the end of the marking period.
REMEMBER: Students cannot be issued a failing grade
unless parents have been contacted.

Procedures
USE OF VIDEO TAPES AND MOTION PICTURES
As we all know, motion pictures and videotapes are a valuable and important resource for
classroom teachers. When these resources are used properly, they are extremely effective in
teaching certain aspects, concepts or adding new information that is not provided by a textbook.
However, we have been under a great deal of criticism for the use of videotapes and using them
improperly. Therefore, in the future if you plan to show a video, the following procedures are to
be used:
1.
The video needs to be okayed by the evaluating administrator.
2.
The objectives for showing the video and how it fits in with the scope and sequence of the
course must be very carefully put in writing before submitting your request to the
department chairperson.
3.
It must be part of the lesson plan.
4.
There must be a prior discussion sheet given to the students outlining your expectations for
the viewing of the tape or the information they should look for during the showing of the
video.
5.
A follow-up sheet should be given to the students with a list of questions for discussion
concerning the video.
6.
The information in the video should be part of the student evaluation process.
7.
“R” rated films and video tapes must not be shown. *
Your cooperation in this matter is will be greatly appreciated. If you have any questions, please
do not hesitate to contact me.
* The only way this can happen is the following:
1
The film must relate to a current unit of study,
2
The teacher must discuss the film before and after viewing, with preparatory and follow-up
assignments,
3
Parent permission must be received in writing,
4
Students must not be required to view the film, if the parents do not agree.
Since this issue has apparently become a problem, please see us prior to showing any film that
may cause concern.

TEACHER DISCIPLINE REFERRAL PROCESS
Teachers will establish sound and reasonable classroom management procedures. This includes
class rules and reasonable consequences.
Teachers must make parent contact for all referrals. NO EXCEPTIONS. Contact must be
recorded on the referral, whether a problem is handled in class or through the referral process.
Parents should also be contacted when improvements are noted.
If a situation requires action beyond classroom consequences, a Discipline Referral is to be
completed.
1) Complete all information in the top boxes of the form.
2) Check off the appropriate offense. If you check more than one offense, specify in the
comment section which offense is to be considered for consequences.
3) Be sure to include details of the incident in the comment section of the referral form.
Do not merely parrot the item that was checked. If the student used offensive
language, the words used are to be written. If the student was disruptive, the remarks
should indicate what the student was doing to be disruptive.
4) Inform the student that a referral is being written and the reason.
5) Make at least three attempts to call parents prior to the referral being handled by the
behavioral modifier. Call parents at the home and/or work numbers. Parent contact
attempts will continue until you are successful.
6) Give the complete referral with the parent contact documentation to the behavioral
modifier.
7) The referral will be handled by the behavioral modifier the next school day if
possible.
8) Parent contact will be handled by administration for non-classroom referrals (i.e.
Hallway incidents).
9) If a student needs to be sent out of class (severe situations only), call the office to tell
who is being sent and why. Follow up with a referral and parent contact.
Documentation of all students who are sent out of the class through a disciplinary
referral is to be completed. If the effect desired is a time out, this is to be noted on the
referral. Even if you choose to handle the referral through a time out, you must call
the parent to explain why you excluded the student from your class.
Thank you.

student to the office. There are also four hall monitors on duty during the school day.
FIRE DRILL
In the event of a fire drill, please have students leave the room quietly and swiftly. Please turn off
the lights and close the doors and windows (if you have windows). Take the grade book with you to
the evacuation point. Roll should be taken at the evacuation point.
ASSESSMENT
Please complete the Substitute Teacher Reaction Inventory form and return to the office at the end of
the day.
CLASS SCHEDULE
A class schedule is attached.
ROLL, LESSON PLANS, AND ADDITIONAL BOOK INFORMATION
A class roll and lesson plans are located_______________________________________________
_______________________________________________________________________________
All other important information will be found in the lesson plans.
ATTENDANCE
Take attendance each period and record absences in the roll book. Absences are marked in the
following manner:
A.
Absences _______________________________
B.
Absent but excused to attend other school activity ___________________
C.
Absent and not on the absentee list (class cut) ______________________
D.
Late for class ________________
LATE FOR CLASS (See Attendance Procedures)
More than a 10 minute unexcused late to either a class or to
school will be considered a class cut for the class(es) missed.
Page 46 of 126
Time requirements:
a) Period 1 - ALL attendance information is to be entered on the Attendance Sheet. This sheet is to be
attached to the clip on the classroom door no later than 8:15 a.m. A hall monitor will pick up this slip.
b) Remaining class periods - complete the attendance form by listing all students not in attendance in
your class for the specific period. Hold this slip until ten (10) minutes into the class period in case a
student comes to class late. Then attach the slip to the classroom door clip. A hall monitor will pick up
this slip.
Tardy Students:
a)
Period I - ALL students who are late to first period are to be sent to the Attendance Office for sign-in
and to be issued an Admit Slip. This student is to be entered as absent to period I and listed on the
Attendance Summary Sheet. Note that the student was tardy and was sent to the Attendance Office
(see example I)
b) Remaining class periods - all tardy students should have either a tardy admit slip, a blue excused slip,
or pink unexcused slip, or a note from the sending teacher. The tardy is to be noted on the attendance
summary sheet. If the student does not have an admit slip as noted above, the tardy is unexcused and
in addition to noting the tardy on the Attendance Summary (see example 2), the substitute teacher is to
fill out a Discipline Referral for the tardy and put this in the Discipline Dean's mailbox. (Be sure the
time of arrival is noted). A sample Discipline Referral is included in this packet.
Other Attendance Issues
1.
Students who appear in class and who are on the absentee bulletin must have a pass from the office indicating their
time of arrival at school. If they do not have a slip, they are to be sent to the Attendance Office with an agenda
pass. The student should return to class with the appropriate Admit Slip. If the student does not return, this is to be
reported on the Attendance Summary Sheet as an absence from class.
2.
You are to maintain an accurate record of each student's attendance in each of your classes. The teacher has noted
the method to be used in this class on page two of this packet.
3.
Students will present you with blue or pink ADMIT SLIPS if they were absent the previous day. Please make a
note of whether the student’s absence was excused (BLUE) or unexcused (PINK) for the absent teacher. Excused
absences permit the student to make up missed work. Unexcused absences do not.
4.
ADMIT SLIPS are to be collected from students during seventh period (or the last class period for the student).
Complete ADMIT SLIPS are to be put in Kitty Elliott's mailbox at the end of the day.
5.
Students with early dismissals will have an EARLY DISMISSAL slip signed from the Attendance Office.
Exceptions to this would be students being dismissed early for sports. A list of these students can be found on the
attendance bulletin for the day.
6.
Students will be permitted to leave class if they have written prior approval from the office, guidance or discipline
dean. Student helpers may be sent to retrieve these students. A laminated hall pass can identify these student
helpers.
7.
Driver Education students will check in with the classroom teacher at the beginning of each class before leaving for
on the-road instruction.
8.
Students needing to go to the nurse, locker, bathroom, fountain, etc. are to be signed out in their AGNEDA
BOOKS. This is at the discretion of the substitute teacher and is to be discouraged unless absolutely necessary.
Students without AGENDA BOOKS are not to be issued other passes. Students must only use their own AGENDA
BOOKS. Use of another's agenda book is a violation of the discipline policy.
9.
If for any reason you must detain a student in your class after the period has ended, please make sure the s/he
Page 47 of 126
receives a hall pass from you stating the student's name, date, destination, time, room number, and your signature.

7.
Chair sets date of next meeting and informs the ED if a referral is possible.
Page 73 of 126
8.
Chair assigns a minute taker and keeps the minutes in the student's file to be held for a minimum of
three years. (Use form #1)
Meeting 2: Evaluate Intervention Strategies
1.
Other necessary individuals are invited, depending on the presenting problem, e.g. nurse, principal,
social worker, educational diagnostician. Parents have been notified that there is a problem and that
interventions are being discussed
2.
Interventions and observations are presented. Reports from parents, etc. are discussed.
3.
Is it apparent that other modifications are warranted? Identify them.
Are referrals outside the classroom needed? e.g. medical care, intensive counseling, help for the home,
speech and language, special education? The team decides how to proceed.
4.
If the decision is to pursue a referral to special education the ED must be present and Form #2 is filled
out.
Special Education Referral
1.
Information is collected from SST, e.g. pre-referral documentation and observations, information from
the cumulative folder.
2.
Permission to test is sent to parents along with a statement of their rights and a social development
form.
3.
When permission to test is returned, inhouse testing is done by the educational diagnostician. The
principal is notified of the referral at this point.
4.
The psychologist, ED, and referring teacher meet to decide if further testing is warranted.
5.
If the decision is to test further, the referral packet is sent to the psychologist. This includes
information from the cum folder, a Burks, teacher input form, referral, two observations, pre-referral
documentation, and inhouse summary sheets.
6.
When the psychologist receives the referral packet, she schedules testing.
7.
Following testing, a multi-disciplinary team meets to determine eligibility.
8.
Should the team decide that the student is eligible, an IEP is scheduled. Once the IEP is developed, the
student is placed in special ed. The IEP meeting must take place 30 days from the time of the MDT
meeting.

medication, provided that the medication is in a properly labeled container as hereinafter
provided. Assistance may include holding the medication container for the student, assisting with
the opening of the container. and assisting the student in self-administering the medication.

prescribed for a student by a physician or is an over-the-counter drug which a parent or guardian
has authorized a student to use.
D. "Paraprofessionals" mean teaching assistants or aides.
II.
ASSISTANCE WITH MEDICATION
A. Subject to the provisions of Section B. below, teachers, administrators and paraprofessionals
employed by a student's local school district are authorized to assist a student with medication on
a field trip.
B. Conditions to Assistance
1) Assistance with medication shall not be provided without the prior written request or consent
2)
3)
4)
5)
of a parent or guardian. Said written request or consent must contain clear instructions
including: the student's name; the name of the medication; the dose, the time of
administration; and the method of administration. At least one copy of said written request or
consent must be in the possession of the person assisting a student with medication on a field
trip.
The medication must be in a container which is clearly labeled with the student’s name, the
name of the medication, the dose, the time of administration, and the method of
administration. If the medication has been prescribed by a physician, it must be in a container
which meets United States Pharmacopoeia / National Formulary standards and, in addition to
the information otherwise required by this section, shall bear the name and telephone number
of the prescribing physician, and the name and telephone number of the dispensing
pharmacy.
A registered nurse employed by the school district in which the student is enrolled shall
determine which teachers, administrators, and paraprofessionals are qualified to safely assist a
student with medication, and said nurse shall provide each such person with information
designed to acquaint such person with safe practices and procedures in assisting with
medication. No person shall assist a student with medication without first acknowledging that
he/she has received and read the information to be provided pursuant to this section, and that
he/she understands the same, and will abide by the safe practices and procedures set forth
therein.
Each school district shall maintain a record of all students receiving assistance with
medication pursuant to this regulation. Said record shall contain the student's name, the name
of the medication, the dose, the time of administration the method of administration, and the
name of the person assisting.
Except for a school nurse, no employee of a school district may be compelled to assist a
student with medication. Nothing contained herein shall be interpreted to otherwise relieve a
school district of its obligation to staff schools with certified school nurses.
Page 81 of 126
INFORMATION FOR SCHOOL STAFF
(For Field Trips Only)
When assisting with medications, it is expected that assistance will be given in a manner that protects the student from
harm. It is expected both from a legal and ethical standpoint that you will not knowingly participate in practices which
are outside your legally permissible role or which may endanger the well being of the student.
Medication is given to the right student, at the right time, in the right amount (dose), and by the right route (such as
orally, topically, by inhalation). The following information is developed around these FIVE RIGHTS:
•
AT THE RIGHT TIME
•
THE RIGHT STUDENT
•
THE RIGHT MEDICATION
•
AT THE RIGHT DOSE
•
BY THE RIGHT ROUTE
%THE RIGHT TIME
Routine medications are taken at established times. This helps to insure that the desired levels of medication will be
maintained and doses will not be given dangerously close to each other.
Medications may be given 1/2 hour before or after the indicated time except for medications to be given with meals.
These may be medications that must be given with food.
Some medications should not be given at the same time or in combination with other medications. If two or more
practitioners prescribe medications, the person assisting must check medication compatibility with the nurse,
pharmacist, or poison control center.
%THE RIGHT STUDENT
Unlike acute care medical facilities most schools and other institutions do not require personal identification tags.
This presents a pr3blem in assisting with medications as levels of communication and cooperation vary. Even a
student may answer to another student’s name. Basic rules are:
a. Never assist with medication unless you know the student.
b.
Use the student's name during the assistance process.
c.
Only deal with one student at a time to prevent other student's from interfering with the medication
process.
d.
Pre-fill water cups to avoid distractions; do not ever turn away from the student during the
medication process.
%THE RIGHT MEDICATION
Before leaving on the field trip, check the parent's permission slip and the prescription bottle to be sure the correct
medication was sent. For this reason it would be a good practice to have all medication on the day before the field
trip.
Pill bottles should contain one drug and one drug only. If a prescription is received which appears strange and
unlike what you remember seeing before, check with the school nurse. It may be another drug company's product, a
generic drug or a mistake. NEVER mix the contents of an old pill bottle with the contents of a new pill bottle;
there may be a change in the brand or dose which will create confusion and error.
Page 82 of 126
Read the prescription label and check against the medication log sheet.
%THE RIGHT DOSE
All medications including over-the-counter (OTC) products are given in some measured amount. Common
measurement terms and their abbreviations for tablets, pills and capsules are milligrams (mg or mgm), grams (GM)
and grains (gr). The prescription will indicate how many pills have to be given so you will not need to figure out the
number of milligrams. For example, the prescription may read: "Tegretol 200 mg tablets; give two tablets daily."
You would give two tablets. The actual milligram dosage is 400 mg daily but you are not asked to compute this,
only to comply with the label.
Common measurement terms and their abbreviations for liquids are: ounce (oz). Tablespoon (Thsp.), and teaspoon
(tsp.). Some prescriptions may indicate a measurement in milliliters (ml).
5 mls = 1 teaspoon; however, teaspoons can vary in size and should not be used routinely. Liquid medication
measuring cups/containers are available and should be used.
Ear and eye liquids are usually measured in drops (gtt or gtts) or droppers full. Droppers should be included in the
medication package.
Prescriptions will state the specific amount of medication to be measured out. If confused about a measurement DO
NOT GIVE until you have checked with the parent or nurse or the pharmacist. Follow the practitioner's orders
carefully.
When assisting with medications, you are legally responsible for making sure that you comply with the
requirements that medications be in original containers or clearly labeled envelopes.
%THE RIGHT ROUTE
Lay assistants are not to assist with injections. The one exception is in use of the lifesaving Bee Sting Kit,
where standard emergency procedures prevail in lifesaving circumstances. The teacher, guidance
counselor or administrator should be informed about the Bee Sting Kit instructions.
For your information, the routes appropriate for lay assistance are:
a. oral b. topical c. inhalants
Generally oral, inhalant, and topical medications will be considered for field trip purposes.
a. ORAL (by mouth)
Types of oral medications are:
(1) Tablets: Pressed powders that are usually acted upon in the stomach. You may crush between two spoons
and unless otherwise indicated. mix with a small amount of food such as pudding if client has difficulty
swallowing. You must make sure s/he swallows everything.
(2) Capsules/Caplets: Gelatin coated powders or tiny time released beads as in spansules. Caplets are
replacing many capsules in over-the-counter products as caplets resist tampering. Caplets have the
medication in a very highly compressed form with the outer covering resisting digestion until the
intestines are reached. These should not be crushed or mixed with food.
(3) Enteric Coated Tablets: These have a hard, often colored coat on them (similar to the M&M candies).
This is to prevent them from releasing the medication too soon in the GI tract and causing irritation. DO
Page 83 of 126
NOT CRUSH.
(4) Liquids: Pour liquids away from the labeled side to keep the label legible. Two types of oral liquids exist
for our purposes: liquids with a short shelf life, and liquids with a long shelf life.
(a)
Short shelf life: Most prescription antibiotics have a short shelf tife and frequently have to be
either refrigerated or kept away from heat and out of direct sunlight. They should be used
completely and the container discarded. The printed expiration date on these bottles indicates the
life of the DRY medication. The pharmacy label gives the date when the mixed solution will expire.
(b)
DO NOT USE BEYOND THE PHARMACIST'S LABEL OF EXPIRATION DATE.
Long shelf life: Most OTC liquids have a long shelf life. The label expiration date should be
checked periodically to insure freshness.
b. TOPICAL: Medications which are applied to surfaces, (skin, eyes, ear canals)
(1)
Topical skin/hair medications may be creams, liquids, powders, soaps, shampoos, ointments.
(a)
Wear gloves when assisting with topical medications.
(b) Never dip anything (for example a Q-tip) into the medication. Pour (or with a clean spoon) dip out
just enough of the medication for one application into a clean container and use from there. Never
put unused medication back into its original container.
(c)
Ointment in a tube can be squeezed onto a sterile gauze pad or a bandage.
(d) Avoid splashing facial mediations into eyes; they can be very irritating.
(e)
Do not share tubes of ointment or liquid medications between students to avoid spreading
infections.
c. INHALANTS
(1) Nasal Inhalants: Follow the directions on the package insert exactly. DO NOT place the tip of the
inhaler deeply into the nose, place the inhaler tip just at the opening of the nose.
(2) Oral Inhalants such as mist asthma inhalants: Follow the directions on the package insert exactly. Be
very aware of discard dates on these medications as they MUST be discarded and replaced promptly.
QUICK CHECK
•
Wash your hands before and after assisting a student.
•
Identify the right student.
•
Read the parent's request and medication label.
•
STOP and obtain guidance if you have any questions.
•
Follow medication instructions.
•
Record medication assistance to the student on the medication sheet.
•
Report observations.
ERRORS
Errors do occur despite training and precautions. For the student's safety, errors should be reported immediately
upon discovery. 911, the Poison Control Center, practitioner, parent, or school nurse should be contacted
depending upon the nature of the error. All cases of errors reported by the person assisting will be kept on file by
the school nurse.
Page 84 of 126
RESPONSES TO MEDICATIONS
a.
b.
c.
DESIRED: good response, mission accomplished, the medication bringing desired results
NO RESPONSE: medication does not seem to be working
ADVERSE REACTIONS (This is to alert you to potential difficulties, even though no problems
have been documented on field trips.)
(1) ALLERGY: medication causes rashes (sometimes with itching), hives, fatal shock. An
allergy can occur several days after a student has been on a medication or from a medication
the client has had many times before. IF THE STUDENT IS HAVING TROUBLE
BREATHING CALL "911"; otherwise, call the practitioner and parent.
(2) UNTOWARD REACTION: This means the effect of the medication is the opposite of what
is expected and desired. Examples are: giving an antihistamine for cough but having the
student become behaviorally out of control or giving a medication to control nausea but
vomiting occurs instead. Treat as you would an illness that develops on a field trip.
(3) SIDE EFFECTS: These are undesirable but known reactions to the medication. Report
observations to the parent and school nurse.
RESOURCES ON DRUG INFORMATION
It is the responsibility of every individual who assists with medication to review possible side effects of the
medication being given. Information on medication side effects should be available as part of the medication log.
For over-the-counter (OTC) medications, the information concerning how to use the medication and how to
properly store it is printed on the package or bottle. Also, any pharmacist can provide answers to questions on use
and storage.
a.
For prescription medications, the following resources are available concerning how to use the medication
and how to properly store it:
(1)
(2)
(3)
b.
The container label will give directions for use including whether it should be taken with or
without food. If a drug must be refrigerated or has to have special handling, the pharmacist
indicates that on the container.
The pharmacy listed on the container can be called if information is needed concerning use and
storage.
The person's practitioner listed on the container can be contacted for information in accordance
with school policy.
Written information references about medications are available upon request from the following
sources:
(1)
(2)
The pharmacy: Upon request a package insert from particular medications can be provided.
Usually the insert will describe the drug, its intended use, side effects that can occur with use, side
effects which warrant immediate medical consultation, warnings about individuals who should not
be using the drug, and any special handling or storage directions as appropriate.
The insert is available for prescription medications. Similar information can be found on the
packaging of over-the-counter medications.
MEDICATION STORAGE AND SAFETY
Medication storage and safety indicate a two-fold obligation:
a. Medication must be carried in such a manner as to protect it from being accessed by unauthorized persons--a
situation that could lead to misuse/abuse. Medications taken on a field trip should be in the personal
Page 85 of 126
possession of the person assisting with the medication and secure from unauthorized use.
b. Medication must be carried in a manner that protects the product from deterioration or container breakage.
(1) Medications which need refrigeration or storage away from light should be appropriately labeled by the
pharmacy and stored accordingly. If medication needs to be refrigerated, it should be carried in a
cooler.
(2) Medications MUST be stored in their original containers. Should an adaptation of a container be
needed, it MUST be obtained from a pharmacist and it must bear the appropriate pharmacy label.
This includes over the counter medications. No medication may be stored in a container other than the
original container. Only a pharmacist or practitioner can generate a container other than that in which
the medication was originally distributed from the manufacturer.
DISPOSAL OF MEDICATION CONTAINERS
Medication containers should be returned to the parent or the school nurse.
MEDICATION RECORDS
Records pertaining to medication use include: parent's written permission, the pharmacy label (original container
label), and any other records such as a medication log sheet which are required by your school.
The medication log sheet is a record sheet which you initial/sign after each student has received the appropriate
medication. (A signature sheet identifying the initials must be included on the sheet.)
The log sheet must show the student's name, name of the medication, dose, route of administration, and time
received by the student.
Example: John Doe - ampicillin 250 mg by mouth at 1:00 p.m.
The log should be returned to the school nurse and attached to the regular daily log.
For the reader's information: Controlled substances must be counted and accounted for to conform with
federal law, state law, and school policy. Ritalin is a controlled substance.
Errors in recording medication information should be handled according to school policy.

INFORMATION FOR SCHOOL STAFF
(For Field Trips Only)
When assisting with medications, it is expected that assistance will be given in a manner that protects the student from
harm. It is expected both from a legal and ethical standpoint that you will not knowingly participate in practices which
are outside your legally permissible role or which may endanger the well being of the student.
Medication is given to the right student, at the right time, in the right amount (dose), and by the right route (such as
orally, topically, by inhalation). The following information is developed around these FIVE RIGHTS:
•
AT THE RIGHT TIME
•
THE RIGHT STUDENT
•
THE RIGHT MEDICATION
•
AT THE RIGHT DOSE
•
BY THE RIGHT ROUTE
%THE RIGHT TIME
Routine medications are taken at established times. This helps to insure that the desired levels of medication will be
maintained and doses will not be given dangerously close to each other.
Medications may be given 1/2 hour before or after the indicated time except for medications to be given with meals.
These may be medications that must be given with food.
Some medications should not be given at the same time or in combination with other medications. If two or more
practitioners prescribe medications, the person assisting must check medication compatibility with the nurse,
pharmacist, or poison control center.
%THE RIGHT STUDENT
Unlike acute care medical facilities most schools and other institutions do not require personal identification tags.
This presents a pr3blem in assisting with medications as levels of communication and cooperation vary. Even a
student may answer to another student’s name. Basic rules are:
a. Never assist with medication unless you know the student.
b.
Use the student's name during the assistance process.
c.
Only deal with one student at a time to prevent other student's from interfering with the medication
process.
d.
Pre-fill water cups to avoid distractions; do not ever turn away from the student during the
medication process.
%THE RIGHT MEDICATION
Before leaving on the field trip, check the parent's permission slip and the prescription bottle to be sure the correct
medication was sent. For this reason it would be a good practice to have all medication on the day before the field
trip.
Pill bottles should contain one drug and one drug only. If a prescription is received which appears strange and
unlike what you remember seeing before, check with the school nurse. It may be another drug company's product, a
generic drug or a mistake. NEVER mix the contents of an old pill bottle with the contents of a new pill bottle;
there may be a change in the brand or dose which will create confusion and error.
Page 88 of 126
Read the prescription label and check against the medication log sheet.
%THE RIGHT DOSE
All medications including over-the-counter (OTC) products are given in some measured amount. Common
measurement terms and their abbreviations for tablets, pills and capsules are milligrams (mg or mgm), grams (GM)
and grains (gr). The prescription will indicate how many pills have to be given so you will not need to figure out the
number of milligrams. For example, the prescription may read: "Tegretol 200 mg tablets; give two tablets daily."
You would give two tablets. The actual milligram dosage is 400 mg daily but you are not asked to compute this,
only to comply with the label.
Common measurement terms and their abbreviations for liquids are: ounce (oz). Tablespoon (Thsp.), and teaspoon
(tsp.). Some prescriptions may indicate a measurement in milliliters (ml).
5 mls = 1 teaspoon; however, teaspoons can vary in size and should not be used routinely. Liquid medication
measuring cups/containers are available and should be used.
Ear and eye liquids are usually measured in drops (gtt or gtts) or droppers full. Droppers should be included in the
medication package.
Prescriptions will state the specific amount of medication to be measured out. If confused about a measurement DO
NOT GIVE until you have checked with the parent or nurse or the pharmacist. Follow the practitioner's orders
carefully.
When assisting with medications, you are legally responsible for making sure that you comply with the
requirements that medications be in original containers or clearly labeled envelopes.
%THE RIGHT ROUTE
Lay assistants are not to assist with injections. The one exception is in use of the lifesaving Bee Sting Kit,

just enough of the medication for one application into a clean container and use from there. Never

High School
EMERGENCY CRISIS
MANAGEMENT PLAN
The following plan represents the EMERGENCY CRISIS
MANAGEMENT PLAN for Cape Henlopen High School. This plan details
key personnel, locations, and procedures that will be utilized in the event of an
emergency or crisis situation.
These are guidelines, not policy, and they may not
provide all the answers in any given situation,
therefore it is not a substitute for common sense and
good judgment.

EMERGENCY LOCK DOWN PROCEDURES
OUR GENERAL EMERGENCY ANNOUNCEMENT:
“AT THIS TIME, THE SECURITY PLAN SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED. ALL STAFF
AND STUDENTS SHOULD REMAIN IN THEIR CLASSROOMS UNTIL FURTHER
NOTICE.”
I WILL REPEAT
“AT THIS TIME, THE SECURITY PLAN SHOULD BE IMPLEMENTED. ALL STAFF
AND STUDENTS SHOULD REMAIN IN THEIR CLASSROOMS UNTIL FURTHER
NOTICE.”
1) When this statement is made NO STUDENT moves out of your room for any reason. (No change of classes,
lavatory, nurse, lunch, dismissal, etc.)
2) When the above announcement is made ALL DOORS are to be CLOSED and LOCKED. Teachers should
keep their doors locked at all times.
3) The teacher then must take roll immediately. The teacher needs to list on the EMERGENCY
ATTENDANCE SHEET their name, room number, and an accurate account of who is present and who is
missing, their suspected whereabouts, and who is present that does not belong.
4) Teachers will communicate to the students that we have an emergency situation and that they need to remain
calm, quiet, and to listen carefully for further directions from their teacher or administration.
5) Teachers are to keep students in the room away from the doors and any glass or window areas. In some cases
this will necessitate movement to protected areas that are out of view from the hallway.
6) Teachers and students are to follow directions given by uniformed or emergency officials.
7) This “LOCK DOWN” procedure will remain in effect until a PA Announcement is made or you receive
official word from CHHS staff member that the “LOCK DOWN” is canceled.
