Medications

If medications are needed during school hours there must be a written order from a physician, and written permission from the parent on file in the health office. The medication must be brought to the school by a parent or other responsible person. The medication must be in the original container labeled with the child’s name, drug, dosage, and time to be administered.

This includes any over the counter medications such as Tylenol or cough/cold medicine

If a student is a supervised student for medication administration an employee of the district may give the student his/her medicine in the absence of the nurse. In the event of a field trip, if the student is supervised, the medication dose would be send with the teacher, and would be given to the student at the appropriate time.
