Prescription Medication
To ensure the safe administration of medication to students at the school...
The prescribing physician should send you a copy of the written orders or fax them before sending the medication.
The medication must be brought in its original bottle with the original label intact.
Furthermore, an emergency health form and a signed medication administration form must be completed and submitted with the medication.
Over-the-Counter (OTC)
If your student requires any over-the-counter medications to be administered at school, the following form must be filled out. (Attached above)
Other Medication Information
Following school policy, antibiotics can only be given in school if the medication must be given more than four or more times daily.
Decongestants and other cold and flu medications are not standing orders in the nurse's office. However, if a child needs an over-the-counter decongestant, the medication can be brought in (HIGH SCHOOL ONLY) once the (OTC) form above is filled out. This medication can be kept in the office "just in case" for that student.
