There is a process governed by the State of Maryland for medications to be administered at school.  If you have any questions about the process, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me.  

To download a copy of the form, click here:  Medication Administration Form . Please call or email for a hard copy of the form.

1) The top section of the form MUST be completed by a physician, even for over-the-counter medications such as Tylenol or Ibuprofen, and must have the student’s name, date of birth, medication, dose, reason, route, and frequency; it must be signed and dated by the physician or nurse practitioner.

2) The bottom section for Parent/Guardian Authorization section MUST be completed by the parent giving me permission to give the prescribed medication.

3) The medication MUST be supplied by the parent in the original labeled bottle.  There are NO stock medications at the school, so I do not have anything here to give your child unless you send it in for him or her.  For prescription medications, you can ask your pharmacist for a second bottle to be kept at school.

4) The Medication Administration form is only valid for the current school year so this form must be completed every year for every child, and, for every medication.  If your child has two (2) medications, a separate form is needed for each.

5) If you have sent in an inhaler, EpiPen, Benadryl, or other medication for your child and have not completed both sections of this form, please do so as soon as possible.  I cannot administer medications sent in without the appropriate paperwork.

If you would like your child to have cough drops at school, please send a signed and dated note giving your permission for your child to have them.  You will also need to send in the cough drops which will be labeled for your child's personal use and kept in the health suite for me to give when your child requests one.
