Medication
The administering or dispensing of any medicines (including non-prescription medication) to students by employees of the school without specific written authorization by the physician and parents of the student is forbidden. An Authorization for Medication form can be requested from the front office or school nurse. The medication will be kept in the school nurse’s office and will be administered by school nurse or trained office staff.
Students are not allowed to have any medication (not even over the counter medication, Rx, or otherwise) in his/her possession without Administration Approval. If your child has severe allergies or asthma and requires immediate access to his/her epi-pen or inhaler, please contact the school nurse for the necessary accommodation consent forms.
Parents must pick up and drop off medicine with the school nurse. Students are responsible for coming to the school nurse at the appropriate time to ask for their medication. It is not the responsibility of the school nurse or office staff to remind the student. Please inform your child’s teacher of any medication procedures.
