Medication

Medications in school: Whenever possible, the administration of medication should be scheduled during non-school hours. However, when necessary, medications will be administered to a student by district personnel, provided the parent consent for medication forms (forms are located in Forms tab to the left)  have been completed and returned to the health room. Per Board of Education policy, students are not allowed to carry any prescription or over the counter medication during the school day.

Prescription medications require completed forms from a physician and a parent. Over the counter medications require completed forms from parent. Medication is to be provided to the health room in its original container and cannot be expired.  Students may carry and self administer emergency medications provided the proper forms are completed and students demonstrate the ability to self administer. Changes in dosages must be verified by the prescribing physician.
