Medications
-
If a student requires medication to be administered in school, the parent must provide a written statement from the physician as well as written parent authorization. Parents need to deliver the medication in its original pharmacy-labelled container to the Health Office to be stored in a locked cabinet. Medication forms are available in the Health Office.
Students may not transport medications to or from school. Students are not permitted to self-carry medication unless specific criteria has been pre-established per district policy. Any remaining medication will be discarded on the last day of school unless picked up by a parent or guardian.
Physicians' orders and parents' authorization statements must be updated for each school year.
We are prohibited from storing medication in the health office over the summer.
