Medication Procedures

• Medication must be brought to school by a parent or guardian in the original container.

• A Medication Permission Form must be completed for each medication provided to the school.

• Forms are available in the school nurse’s office.

• Parents must sign the form even if the student is over 18 years old.

• A new Medication Permission Form is required each school year.

• Prescription medications require a physician’s signature on the Medication Permission Form.

  • The school nurse may assist with obtaining this signature, but it is the parent’s responsibility.

• Non-prescription (over-the-counter) medications require only a parent’s signature.

• Students may not bring medication to school without a signed form on file.

• Controlled prescription medications must be counted by a school employee and the parent at the time of drop-off.

• School staff cannot dispense medication without a signed form—even if contacted by phone.
