While we believe that it’s more desirable for parents to administer medications in the home, we understand that some students need to take medication during school hours. In order to ensure your child receives his or her medication, you will need to comply with the following regulations:

A physician must complete and sign a “Request for Medication Administration” form. We must have it on file in the school office in order for school personnel to act “in loco parentis” in complying with the physician’s written orders.
Parents must bring medication to school in the original container or in a container properly labeled by the pharmacy or physician. This label must include the name of the person who is to take the medication, the name of the medication, dosage, and when the student must take the medication.
Parents must give all medication to the school secretary or school nurse for proper storage during the school day. We require a doctor’s written note on file in the office for inhalers or EpiPens that students carry with them. We do not allow non-prescribed medications in school.
Parents must provide the physician’s name, address, and telephone number in case we need additional information or questions arise.
The school nurse must approve and sign the above-mentioned form prior to the acceptance of medication at school. We ask that you please inform school personnel of potential benefits and side effects of the student’s medication.
In all cases, the school retains the discretion to reject a request for medication administration depending upon individual circumstances.
