Medication Administration at School
All medications to be administered at school must be hand delivered to the clinic by the parent/guardian.
All medications (over-the-counter and prescription) must be in their original containers (no baggies please!)
All prescription medications must be labeled by the pharmacist and include the student’s name, name of medication, dosage, route (by mouth, etc.), time, and Dr.’s name. (Most pharmacies will give you a spare, labeled prescription bottle for school use if you request it).
Please notify the school nurse in writing of any change in dosage and/or time medication is to be given.
Parents/guardians are responsible for monitoring medication supply and obtaining refills.
Over the counter pain relievers (such as Ibuprofen or Acetaminophen) are not provided by the school district and cannot be administered without written permission from the parent/guardian. If you would like your child to receive over the counter pain relievers as needed at school, please send in a small supply (in it’s original container) to be kept in the clinic. An “Authorization for Medication Administration” form can be filled out in the clinic.
Written authorization is required to administer any prescription medication at school.
Over-the-counter medications will be administered to a student only with a written request and permission to do so by a parent/guardian.
