Students are not allowed to carry
prescription or over-the-counter medications
(including cold medications, aspirin, etc.) while in
school. In
the event that you should need medication during the
school day, please follow these guidelines:
1.
The student should deliver the medication
directly to the school nurse upon arriving;
2.
The nurse must have written instructions from
the student’s doctor(s) for both prescription and
over-the-counter medications, which indicate the
frequency and dosage to be dispensed.
Medication orders must be renewed at the
beginning of each school year.
3.
The nurse must also have written permission
from the parent to dispense the medication as
prescribed by the physician;
4.
Prescription medications must be in the
original container and should include the student’s
name, name of the medication, dosage and frequency.
Please ask your pharmacist to dispense the
medication in two containers – one for school and
one for home.
