Medication Policy and Forms

The Carlynton School district requests that medications be given at home during non-school hours. However, it recognizes that sometimes it is essential for medication to be administered at school. All medications must be brought to school and picked up by a parent, guardian or responsible adult. No prescription or over-the-counter medication will be given without a doctor’s order and parent/guardian signature. Prescription medications must be in the original labeled container with the student’s name and correct dosing information. Over-the-counter medications must be delivered in its original packaging and labeled with the student’s name. Please remember that this policy is for the safety of everyone.

Under no circumstances will school personnel diagnose, provide or prescribe any medicine for a student. Medication shall include all pills, drugs and medicines prescribed by a physician and any over-the-counter medicines. No herbal remedies will be given during the school day.

Please print the medication authorization form and fill it out with your child's physician. For your convenience, the doctor's order may be faxed by the doctor's office to the school.
