Medication Guidelines

Prescription and over-the-counter medication will be administered at school with a written request supplied by the parent/guardian and healthcare provider using the Physician/Parent Medication Authorization Form. Prescription medication must be in a prescription bottle from a pharmacy, include the name of the student, prescribing healthcare provider, and administration instructions, and not be expired. Over-the-counter medication must be in the original manufacturer’s packaging, labeled with the student’s full name, and not expired.

If possible, all medication should be given by the parent outside school hours. For example, medication should be given three times a day before school, after school, and at bedtime (every 8 hours) unless otherwise prescribed by your health care provider.

Please refer to the Parent Medication Letter for additional guidelines on medication at school.
