Medication may not be administered in the school setting without written permission from a parent/guardian and a written order from a licensed physician or any health professional licensed to prescribe.
NO medication should be kept in a classroom, nor should any student be carrying medication on their person. This includes all prescription medication and over-the-counter medications. Medication must be brought to school by an adult and given to the school nurse.
All prescription medications need to be in a pharmacy labeled vial (ask your pharmacist for two labels in advance) or in the case of over-the-counter medications, in an unopened bottle with children’s dosages listed.
Medication orders need to be renewed for each school year and unused medication needs to be picked up by an adult at the end of each school year or it will be discarded.
Asthma inhalers and epi-pens only may be carried by self-directed students with advanced written permission by a physician, a parent, and the nurse.
