The administration of medication during the school day is not encouraged. However, if your child needs to take medication during school hours a “Request for Medication Administration” form must be completed by the student’s physician and signed by the parent/guardian. This form may be obtained from the school nurse. Medication must be brought to school by the parent/guardian in the original labeled container. This applies to prescription and non-prescription medications including all over-the-counter medication. Only the certified school nurse can administer medication in the school. Parents and guardians may come to the school to administer medications. Please advise the school nurse of any medications the student is taking.
