MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION

Student medication may be administered in the school clinic, under the following guidelines:

  • The parent must bring ANY medication (prescription or non-prescription) to the school nurse and complete a form indicating permission to administer the medication.

  • Students are not allowed to carry ANY type of medication, including prescription drugs, over-the-counter medication, items such as Tylenol, etc. As a general guideline, if the item says, "Keep Out of the Reach of Children" do not send it to school with your child, see the school nurse instead.

  • Over-the-counter medication must be in the original container. Prescription medication must be in a current container, properly labeled with the student’s name on it and indicating the required dosage and intervals.
