It is District Policy that ALL student medication (prescription & non) including inhalers, require a doctor’s order. Most medications are stored in the nursing office. With parent permission/signature and doctor’s instruction, students may be given medication by a nurse and/or school employee. All medication forms should be turned in by the first day of school (Medication in school order is renewable every school year).
You will need to complete and sign this form and have your student’s physician authorize the medication. Remember all medications (even those over-the-counter) require a completed form.
*Pain Relievers: We do not keep stock Tylenol, Ibuprofen, or any other pain relieving medication on campus. Students are NOT allowed to carry this medication on them. It will be held in the nurse office and when needed the student may request it from the nurse, so that it can be supervised and given safely.
*Emergency medication such as Epi-Pen are kept on each campus to administer to students, staff, and visitors, if needed. We do NOT stock emergency medication for asthma.
Should your student need medication for a field trip or school sponsored extracurricular activity, please contact your site nurse for arrangement (see Home page).
