School Medication
Guidelines
The district will limit the medication it will dispense
to that where failure to take prescribed medication could
jeopardize the student's health and/or education and where
it is not possible for a parent to administer the medication
and the medication cannot be pre-scribed in doses scheduled
before and after school hours. Parent help and consideration
is essential for the safety of children who must receive
medication while at school.
- All medications, including nonprescription drugs
given at school shall be prescribed by a physician.
- A School Medication Authorization Form must be
carefully completed for each school year.
- THE DOCTOR MUST SIGN THE FORM and a PARENT OR LEGAL
GUARDIAN MUST SIGN THE FORM.
- A separate form is required for each medication.
- Students are not allowed to carry any medication.
Exceptions will be allowed only with the approval of the
school principal and the certified school nurse.
- Any change in medication dosage or administration
shall have written authorization from the prescriber.
- Prescription medication must be sent in the original
container labeled by the pharmacy showing: student's
name, name of medication, dosage and schedule of
administration, date, and the prescriber's name.
- Non-prescription medication must be in the original
labeled container with the student's name affixed to the
container.
- No medication will be given at school unless the
above guidelines are met.
- All medication is to be taken to the school office at
the beginning of the school day where it will be kept in
a locked space.
- Please talk to your physician about scheduling
medication to avoid school hours whenever possible.
Prescription medications which are taken three times per
day normally do not need to be given at school.
- It is the parent's responsibility to pick up all
unused medication before the last day of school. Any
medication left at school will be disposed of by the
nurse.
- We cannot send medication home with students.
Please contact District Nurse, Michele Spading at
384-3564 if you have any questions. Medication forms are
available at your child's school office.
