Medication at School
-
When possible, parents and physicians are urged to have student medication administered outside of the school day. If your student needs to receive medication, either prescription or non-prescription, during school hours, you must provide the following:
Medical Authorization Form
A completed Authorization for Administration of Medication at School form signed by both the parent and the physician. Additional forms are required for asthma, allergy (Epi-Pen), and seizure medications.
Physician Note
Submit a written note from your student’s prescribing physician stating:
- Name of medication
- Dosage
- Time and dates to be given
- The reason it must be given during school hours
- Possible side effects
We will accept faxed authorization from a health care provider. Please call our school office for the fax number.
Parent/Guardian Note
Submit a note giving permission for your student to receive the prescribed medication at school.
Medication in its Original Container
Medication must be brought to school by a responsible adult in the originally labeled container with the student’s name. If you are unable to bring the medication to school, please call our school nurse before sending it.
