Medications at School
At times, it may be necessary for a student to take medication during the school day. If a medication must be administered by school personnel, the following conditions must be met:
-
Written authorization by parent for both prescription and non-prescription medications.
-
Written instructions and authorization from a physician for prescription drugs including dosage and frequency.
-
All medications, prescription and non-prescription, must be in their original containers. Prescription medication containers should include the physician's name and pharmacy.
-
Medication that is not FDA approved will not be administered in school.
-
Students are only allowed to take medication in school when it is administered by the school nurse in the health office.
Exceptions include:
-
Elementary students should keep their inhalers and/or epi-pens in the health office unless specific written permission to carry the inhaler and/or epi-pen is received from the physician and the parent/guardian. The student also needs to demonstrate competency in administering.
Compliance with the conditions listed above must be renewed each year.
