MEDICATION POLICY
If your student needs to receive medication during the school day, a Medication Authorization Form must be on file for your student. This is located under forms. This is not the same as the emergency contact sheet or health information form.
School personnel, including the school nurse, can only dispense medication to students who have a completed Medication Authorization form on file. This is required for ALL prescription and over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol, Motrin, Benadryl, Tums, cough drops, etc. This form must be returned to the school nurse prior to any medication being administered at school. Forms are available in each of the offices or can be downloaded under the forms section. Use of Medication Board Policy 5330 |
