Medication Administration
Contact the School Nurse First!
If able, medications should be taken before or after school hours; however if needed during the school day please contact the school nurse.
Medication may be administered only after the Consent for Administration of Medication at School form is completed by the parent/guardian(s) and returned and reviewed by the school nurse.
Prescription Medications: must be brought in a pharmacy labeled bottle or box (the pharmacy label serves as the required written order from the provider)
-
Request a 2nd labeled bottle from the pharmacy for school
-
Inhalers - keep im box with pharmacy label
Over the Counter (OTC) Medications : We have a stock of tylenol, ibuprofen, tums, and benadryl. Consent forms are signed at registration for administration of these medications throughout the school year, please decline the consent form and let the nurse know if you would not like your child to have these medications provided to them if needed, throughout the school year.
Any changes to prescription medications will require a new order from the provider and a parent/guardian to complete a new Consent for Administration of Medication at School form (new medication, dose or change in time).
Medication should be brought to the school by the parent/guardian. If unable please contact the school nurse.
All medication, including prescription and over the counter, will be kept in the nurse’s office during the school day.
If an emergency medication (inhaler, epi-pen) needs to be carried by the student while at school please contact the school nurse.
