Medication in School

Medication administration in school will only be permitted when the student’s health and continuing attendance in school so requires, AND WHEN THE MEDICATION IS PRESCRIBED BY A PHYSICIAN.

NO MEDICATION will be administered to students in school except by the school nurse or the student’s parent.

All medication must be delivered to the school nurse in its ORIGINAL LABELED CONTAINER BY THE PARENT/GUARDIAN and must be accompanied by a physician’s written and signed statement of:

1) Reason for medication

2) Name of medication

3) Dose to be given

4) Time to be given

5) Date when medication is to be discontinued

6) Possible side effects
