Medication

This includes pain relievers such as aspirin, cough drops, etc. If it is essential that medication be administered during school hours on an ongoing basis, this accommodation can be provided. However, for the protection of all concerned, it is necessary for the school office to have specific information and signatures prior to administering medication. All medication, including nasal sprays, inhalers, topical ointments, medicated eye drops, antibiotics etc., should be brought to the office. All medication should be in the original container, and prescription medications should bear the name of the student that the medication is for. Parents / guardians must provide detailed instructions in the form of a note, or completed medication authorization log entry (available at the office) to accompany medicines. This documentation should include the name of the student, dosage, and timing. The school cannot administer any dosage that does not conform to recommended dosage directions on the container. The office will administer the medication as directed.

At no time should medicines be placed in a child’s lunchbox.
