Medication in School

About

We highly encourage parents/guardians to administer medication at home. However, if your medical doctor believes the medication must be administered during the school day, please submit a completed medication form to your child's school. The form must be completed by the physician and parent/guardian before the medication may be brought to school.

 

NOTICE! Read before sending your child to school!
  • A new medication form must be completed for each, individual medication and renewed each school year, including over-the-counter medication such as Tylenol.
  • All medication must be in the original container and labeled by the pharmacist for school use.
  • Students are not allowed to carry medication of any kind on their person, or to take medication without official written direction from physician and parent.
  • Students are permitted to carry and self-administer metered-dose inhalers with the written permission of their physician, parent/guardian, and submission of the self-administered medication form.
