If your child needs medications in school either for the entire year or for a short time, the following steps must be followed:

*A doctor's signature either on the district form or on a prescription pad from the doctor

*A parent signature requesting that the medication be given at school

*An original prescription bottle with the students name and the name of the medication

*If an over-the- counter medication, the original container with the students name written in clear, legible writing

*If the medication is a controlled substance such as Ritalin, a parent must bring the medication into school, otherwise the student

may bring it to the nurse as soon as the student arrives to school

*Tylenol, Ibuprofen, and TUMS may be given in school if indicated on the annual online census form.
