If your child needs to take prescription medication during school hours, it will be necessary for school personnel to have the medicine in a container labeled by the pharmacy giving the student's name, the doctor's name, name of the medication, dosage to be administered and directions for administration. The clinic must have a written request from the student's parent/guardian and a physician's order to give the medication.
If your child needs an over-the-counter medicine, it should be brought to the clinic in its original container and labeled with the child's name. Parents/guardians must complete a written request form stating the dosage and directions for administering the medications.
All medication must be brought to the clinic for safe keeping. Students should not keep medication in their lockers, purses or backpacks.
