Medication Guidelines
l. Medications may be administered at school with a parent's written request expressing the need for such medication and the parent provides the medication. This includes both prescription and over-the-counter medications. All as needed prescription medications need a physician's signature.
2. Prescription medications must be in the original container, properly labeled with the student's name, medication name, dosing instructions and ordered by a physician licensed to practice in the United States.
3. Non-prescription medications must be in the original container and not expired. The dosing instructions on the over-the-counter packaging will be strictly followed. Requests to alter the dosage or frequency of the medication to be administered must be accompanied by a physician's written note stating the dosage of medication to be given and that it is necessary to administer an alternative dosage at school.
