Advice: medications

[danita]

So my transistion (kindy,prep) boy is ADHD and requires medication at. 1230 each day. We have had a really bad weekend and today dropped him at school, go to refill his pill box to find he didn't have his Friday tablet. this is not the first time, there was one week he had missed 3 dosages I was up there I spoke to the teacher, I spoke to the medication staff and mentioned it to the principal. What more can I do?? As he is a foster child I'm about ready to have children's department of foster care ring the school aswell.
The pediatrician has a letter that was given to the school with all the information as to why he needs it and when.

I'm so annoyed right now. It will take about 6-7 days for things to get back on track, it wrecks the sleep pattern and everything grrrr..


What can I do to ensure this doesn't happen again?
Sorry this was a bit of a vent aswell.

That's poor form from the school.

When I used to work as an integration aide, I was responsible for taking the children to the office to have their medication administered by the office staff.

Does he qualify for aide time? Could it be his/her job to remember?

Alternatively it's a PITA, but could you ring the office everyday at that time?
Hopefully it would only take a week of phone calls for them to get sick of you and suddenly remember!
