Medication

When your child’s health requires oral medication during the school day, both prescription and nonprescription, you should send a written request to the principal, using the District form, with written authorization and directions from a licensed physician and/or dentist. School employees are not allowed to give medication to students except under very specific conditions and with appropriate training. Prescription medication must be provided in its prescription bottle with directions, and nonprescription medication must be provided in the original manufacturer’s container. Both prescription and nonprescription medications must be brought to school by the parent or guardian. Under no condition should such medicine, prescription or non-prescription, be sent to school in lunch boxes or lunch sacks, or with the bus driver. Please check with your principal for additional details.
