New employees who will be giving medication are required to attend the live training on Friday, September 28, 2018. Prior to this meeting, they need to view the online training, following the links at jordandistrict.org and posted under Educational Support, Nursing Services. Click on Medication Inservice (use a browser other than Firefox).

Employees who have attended this training and have a certificate of completion will not be required to attend this meeting. However, they will be required to recertify by viewing the online training video and completing the corresponding test available on the district website.

Please identify staff members that should receive medication administration training. This may include head secretaries, office assistants, cluster teachers or aides, counseling center personnel, and the principal if appropriate.
