Forms
Medication at School
School District 102 and Illinois State Board of Education guidelines state that all prescription and non-prescription medication given during school hours or school-related activities must have a completed Medication Authorization form (see below) prior to the administration of any medication. Medication prescribed once, twice, or three times daily should be administered outside of school hours. No medication will be given during the school day unless absolutely necessary for the critical health and well-being of the student.
Only after a Medication Authorization form (below) has been signed by both the physician and the parent, may the nurse or a designated substitute give any medication. This includes both prescription and over the counter medications. The school health offices do not supply any medication. Only labeled prescription bottles or medication in their original, unopened packaging will be accepted.
