Medication Forms

All medications (prescription or over-the -counter) require a physician’s order and a parental permission form.  The medication cannot be given without these completed documents.  Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Benadryl and cough drops are covered by orders from our school physician, but can only be given by the school nurse with parent signed consent on the back of the school emergency card. 

Physicians can use their own form or the district medication form below. 

All medication must be delivered to the Health Office by the student’s parent/guardian, or a designated adult.

Students are not permitted to bring medications to school.

All medications must be delivered in a correctly labeled pharmacy or manufacturer’s medication container. (Medications are not accepted in containers such as plastic bags.)

Whenever possible, medication administration should be scheduled at times other than during school hours.

Only a thirty (30) day supply of medication will be accepted at any time.

All medication orders expire at the end of the school year. Medication orders must be renewed at the beginning of each school year (Dated after June 30th) .

Self-medication may be allowed under certain circumstances after consultation with the school nurse, and with the completion of the required authorization forms by both a student's parent/guardian and prescribing physician.

If a medication needs to be administered during a school sponsored event such as a field trip, the school nurse must be contacted in advance in order to allow time to make special arrangements prior to the outing.

A parent may retrieve the medication from the school at any time.

All medications must be picked up by a parent/guardian, before the close of the school year. Any medications that are not picked up by the close of school will be disposed of.
