Medications

The school nurse will dispense over-the-counter (OTC) medication, prescription medication, and medication for students with ADHD, diabetes, asthma, and rescue medication.

• All medication must be brought to the school by the parent or guardian in its original container, and labeled appropriately with the student’s name, dose, and frequency of administration.
• Please fill out the appropriate forms (noted below) ahead of time, and drive the forms and unopened, unexpired or prescribed medication to the front office. Please call the front office when you arrive. Someone will come out to meet you and accept the medication.
• A Medication Authorization Form must be completed by a parent when requesting the nurse to administer OTC medicine to your student while at school.
• A Medication Authorization Form must be completed by BOTH parent and prescribing physician to treat ADHD, asthma, diabetes, and rescue medication (Epinephrine/Glucagon).
• Students are NOT permitted to self-medicate unless the student has prior written approval to self-carry a medication (inhaler, Epi-pen, Glucagon).
• Please note: all medications not picked up on the last day of school will be disposed of per state regulations.
