Medications at School
Please try to give any medications at home. There may be times when your child will need to take medication at school. Please read the LPS District Medication Administration Policy. You can find the District Medication Administration Policy with the link below.
Medication Administration Policy
All medications, including cough drops, ointments, etc., must be kept with the School Nurse in the Health Room. The nurse must have the signed district permission form from the parent in order for the school nurse to administer any medications. You can find this form using the link below. The nurse cannot accept a note from you, the parent/guardian, as permission. Please note that cough drops are considered a medication at school and are discouraged from being brought to school. They can also be a choking hazard. The health office does have dissolvable peppermints available if needed for a cough or scratchy throat. If you do send cough drops or throat lozenges for your student to have at school, they must be kept in the health office and the nurse must have the medication authorization form on file in order for your student to have the cough drop.
If your child is on a medication that needs to be taken at school, please talk to the School Nurse.
