Medicines at School
All prescription and non-prescription medication must be kept in the health clinic -- and must be registered with the nurse -- when a student arrives on campus.
Medication will be administered to students only when the medication is necessary for the student to complete the school day. Medication prescribed for 3 times a day can be administered at home.
Prescription medication may only be administered when a signed, written request with complete dosage instructions has been received from a physician or dentist licensed to practice in the United States and the parent/guardian. Prescription medication must be provided by the parent/guardian in the original container appropriately labeled with complete dosage instructions from a recognized pharmacy or physician.
Non-prescription medication may be administered when a signed, written request with dosage instructions has been received from the parent/guardian. Non-prescription medication must be provided by the parent/guardian in the original container with the original label of dosage instructions appropriate for the child's age.
** OVER THE COUNTER MEDICATION MUST BE CHILDREN'S OR JUNIOR STRENGTH**
