Can students get medication at school?

The following medications are stocked in the nurse's office and can be dispensed by the school nurse:

1. Tylenol/Motrin (or generic equivalents)

suspension, chewable or tablets

2. Tums (or generic equivalent) 

3. Benadryl (or generic equivalent) 

suspension or tablets

4. Cough drops (grades 2-5 only)

If you want the nurse to dispense any medication not listed above, 

you must have a provider order! 

This includes over-the-counter and prescription medications.   Ex. antibiotics, eye drops, topical products

Please click here for required paperwork.  A parent/guardian signature is required in addition to a provider's. If a provider faxes an order separately, then only the parent/guardian's signature is required on the form.

The medication must come in its original, labelled container, with the student's name.

The nurse is not permitted to apply sunscreen, but students may self-apply with a provider order.
