Medications Many children must take medication during the school day. Our school policy was developed in accordance with state law and provides for the safe administration, storage and transporting of medication. We realize the effort it takes and we appreciate your support and cooperation. A Medication Authorization Form must be on file whenever medication is brought to school. The form includes written instructions from the child's health care provider, specific information about the medication and a parent signature. This policy applies to prescription as well as over-the-counter medications. The forms are available in all school offices and in many physician's offices. We can also fax a form to you or your health care provider. Please note: Elementary students can carry emergency medications. All other medications are to be administered by school staff. Middle school students can carry and administer medications that are not "controlled substances" (i.e.. Ritalin, Dexedrine, Codeine). High school students can carry and administer all medications. It is against school policy and the law for students to share medication. Return to Nursing Home Page
