Medications

Any medication to be given during the school day must be delivered to school by the parent/guardian in the original, properly labelled container and accompanied by a completed Medication Permission Form.

Over-the-counter medications may be given with parental permission as long as age appropriate dosing recommendations on the product label are followed. However, if the healthcare provider prescribes a medication that is purchased over the counter and/or if the medication is prescribed differently from the manufacturer's recommendations on the container, the school will need a Medication Permission Form signed by the healthcare provider that prescribed the medication.

The healthcare provider’s signature on the Medication Permission Form is required for all prescription medications.
