Medication  

If your child needs to take medication during school hours, it is necessary that both the physician and parent provide written permission.  This must include the name of the drug, dose, and time to be given.  Children are not allowed to transport medication to school due to the danger of loss or accidental overdose by your child or another.  No medication will be administered unless the correct procedure is followed.  These regulations apply to all drugs, including non-prescription drugs.

  Whenever possible,  try to administer medications outside of school hours.  Please do not send cough drops, ointments, or other over the counter products to school.

For information regarding students carrying and self-administering their medications, please contact your child's school nurse.
