All students receiving medication in school (prescription and over-the-counter) must have written parental permission. In addition, a doctor’s written order is required for medications that will/may be given for the entire school year, for a long term (more than ten doses), or for medications the nurse deems a doctor’s order necessary.

All medicines must be in the original, pharmacy-labeled container – baggies will not be accepted. A parent or responsible adult must drop off and pick up the medicine. Students are not allowed to carry medicine to school on the bus or during school in their possession (backpack, purse, locker, etc.). Exceptions are for inhalers, EpiPens, or other emergency medications – providing that prior arrangement has been made with the nurse. Please see the essential forms below.
