Medication in School

When it is necessary for your child to take prescription medications during the school day, it is required that you and your physician complete a district form in order for the Health Care Assistant or School Staff to administer prescribed medication.

The medication must be brought to school by an adult in the original container and will be locked in the Health Office. Without exception, students may not bring any medication to school! What may have medicinal value to one student may be lethally poisonous to another. Since drug use and abuse are so pervasive in our society, it is absolutely necessary that we use the utmost caution with all medications.

At the end of the school year and before summer break, it is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to pick up the medication. You will be notified at this time. Any medication left at the school will be discarded. ALL medication dispense forms have to be renewed yearly.
