Prescription Medications
Prescription medication should be brought to school by a parent/guardian and delivered to the office. The following guidelines apply to all medications given at school:
- Only medication prescribed by a legal provider will be administered at school.
- A parent or legal guardian must provide written authorization.
- Medication will be supplied in the original container with proper labeling including: student’s name, name of medication, dose of medication, directions for use, and date. Expired or improperly labeled medication will not be given.
- Changes/discontinuation of prescription medication require immediate notification in writing from your child’s physician.
Over-the-Counter Medications
- If permitted, all students will be allowed six doses of over the counter medication. After six doses, parents/guardians will be asked to supply medications.
