Medication

  There are circumstances when, under specific regulations, a medication prescribed by a private physician may be administered to a student during school hours. If it is a medication which can be administered at home it is easier on the child for the parents to administer it.

If the medication must be given at school the following criteria must be met:

1. A written order from the physician must be furnished by the parent.

2. A written request from the parent requesting the school personnel administer the medication as ordered.

3. The family must provide the medication in a bottle, tube or container that has a pharmacy label on it. or in the case of over the counter medicines, a lable with the childs name on it.               

4. Medication MUST be brought to school by the parent or designated adult.
