EVERY SCHOOL YEAR, NEW FORMS:

• New medication administration forms are required every school year. Each medication order must be dated after July 1st of that school year.

• If your child is required to take medication during the school day, the medication must be kept and taken in the health office. ALL medication given at school, including prescriptions and over-the-counter medication, requires a physician/provider's signature and parental permission to administer it. 

• Please note that no new medications will be accepted without the proper Medication Administration Form on file. Signed forms can be returned to your student's building office via email, fax, or hard copy. 

• All medication must be dropped off by a parent or legal guardian. It must be received in its original pharmacy container with a current pharmacy label that states the student name, medication name, dosage, and time to be administered.

• Non-prescription medications must also be in their original packaging or container. School staff are not permitted to administer unlabeled medication. 

Disposal of Medications:

• If medication (prescription or over-the-counter) is sent to school for your child’s use during the school year, it must be picked up before the end of each school year. According to district policy, our school nurses will dispose of any medication not picked up correctly. It will not be carried over to the next school year.
