Medication Policy
All medication, whether prescription or over-the-counter, must be kept in the Health Office. Medication must be sent in the original labeled container and must be accompanied by a Medication Dispensing Form signed by both the physician and the parents.
With parent permission indicated in the Annual Student Information Update, acetaminophen, ibuprofen, and Tums may be administered according to the manufacturer's suggested dosage. Your child should not come to school on narcotic medication for pain management, as these medications may cause dizziness, light-headedness, and sedation, which make it difficult for your child to function safely and effectively in school.
Administration of specific nonprescription medication is available to all students under the guidelines of the District's Medical Director. These medications include cough drops, throat spray, and Neosporin Ointment.
All controlled medication must be hand-delivered to the school nurse by a parent or guardian, at which time it will be counted and signed for.
