Medications

Medications administered at school must have:

• A written request from the parent to administer medication as ordered
• The original, labeled bottle from the pharmacy.
• If over the counter medication (i.e., Tylenol, Motrin), parents must provide student's own bottle with name labeled.

A new order and parental permission are required each school year and the medication must be delivered to the nurse by the parent or guardian.  Students are not allowed to keep medication on them unless ordered by the physician for age-appropriate students. This includes cough drops and OTC medications.
