Medication Administration
Prescription MedicationPrescription medications are medicines prescribed by a health care provider. In order for a child to be given a prescription medication at school, the child’s parent/legal guardian must sign a permission form. The permission form must also be signed by the child’s health care provider. Please use the links below for a copy of the district's prescription medication permission form.The medicine must be in the original container with the label on it. A responsible adult must deliver the medication and permission form to the school. The medication must also be picked up by an adult. No medicine can be sent home with a child. Medications cannot be left in the health room over the summer; therefore any medications not picked up at the end of the school year will be disposed of accordingly. For additional information, please contact your school nurse.
