Daily Medications and School Medication Policy

If your child has a medical condition that requires medication (prescription or over-the-counter) to be administered during the school day, a written physician's order is required. No medication may be carried in school by a student; again, this applies to prescription or over-the-counter medications. This includes but not limited to, Acetaminophen, Ibuprofen, TUMS, Cough Syrup, Hydrocortisone cream, etc.

The only exceptions are for those students with asthma inhalers and EpiPens whose order specifies that they may "self administer" their medication. All medication must be delivered to the school nurse's office in the original container or pharmacy bottle by the parent/guardian with the physician's original order and written parental permission.
