MEDICATION
Only individuals authorized by the superintendent or his/her designee may administer medicines to students during the school day. All medications, both OTC and prescription, must be in the original container and properly labeled.
In grades 6-12, students may carry needed over the counter medications, in the original container, if a CSD Parent Permission for Student to Self-Administer OTC Medication form has been completed by the parent.
All prescription medications will be given by school staff after:
Receipt of the CSD Permission for School Administration of Prescription Medication form has been completed by the ordering physician and signed by the parent and,
Receipt of pharmacy labeled medication in its original container.
The school will not be responsible for any adverse drug reactions. “The first dose” of any medication should be given at home, not at school.
The school retains the discretion to reject requests for medication administration at school.
Parents must reclaim any unused medication within one (1) week of termination of treatment or by the last day of school. Any medication left after this time will be destroyed.
Over-the-Counter Medications at School
To carry (original container) and take any personal over-the-counter medication, a student must have a signed parent or legal guardian permission form on file in the health room by the start of each school year. This is to include medications such as pain medication, cold medication, allergy medication, etc. Students are not permitted to share over-the-counter medication with anyone including other students, and can result in disciplinary action if found to be sharing.
