Daily or Routine Medication:
A medication permission form must be filled out and signed by the physician and the parent. Please remember that an adult must deliver the prescription medication to the school and all medication must be in the original container.
Over-The-Counter/PRN (as needed) Medications:
Self-administration and Storage: STUDENTS ARE NOT ALLOWED TO CARRY OR SELF-ADMINISTER MEDICATION AT SCHOOL.
We have many OTC meds in the health office, Ibuprofen, acetameniphen, Tums, Bacitracin, Benadryl to name a few. If your child needs these during the school day, they can come in and use the stock supply here in the health office. Families will need to login to SNAP and "opt-in" to each OTC medication they are okay with the student getting.
Short-term Medications (antibiotics, eye drops etc)
Original Containers:
You should ask the pharmacy about providing two prescription bottles, so you will have one for school. If you do not have a second bottle, please label and repackage your home medication, so that the school has the original container. Medication will not be given from a baggie.
