MEDICATION POLICY
If it becomes necessary for a student to take any form of medication at school, a signed medication form must be completed. Prescription medication must be in the prescription bottle (pharmacists will give you an extra bottle upon request).
ALL Medication must be delivered to school by the PARENT OR GUARDIAN in the original container. DO NOT send medication in envelopes, plastic wrap, lunch boxes, etc. Please bring only the amount needed at school.
The medication policy for Springfield Public Schools states that medication is not to be brought by or sent home with the child. A parent or designated adult must pick up any remaining medication within one week after the final date on the medication form.
Over-the-counter medications may be given at school for a period of three days with written consent from the parent/guardian. Administering over-the-counter medication beyond three days will require a written order from your doctor.
