Wayne Central School District

Ensuring student health and safety is a priority in our school. If your child requires medication during the school day, please review the following procedures: 
 

• An administration of medication form must be completed and signed by both the parents/guardians and the child’s healthcare provider.
• Medications must be provided in the original, labeled container (prescription or over-the-counter) 
• Medications will be stored and administered regularly by the building school nurse. On occasion, nurses from another building or designated and trained staff may support in emergency situations or in the absence of the nurse. 
• Students are not permitted to carry medication unless specifically authorized by a healthcare provider and approved by the school.
   

Medications for Extended Trips

• For overnight or extended trips, a separate trip medication permission form is required.
• Parents should contact the building principal or trip chaperone to obtain this form and review any necessary arrangements.
   

Medication Drop-Off Procedures
To keep all students safe and to comply with state health regulations, all medications must be dropped off directly with the school nurse. Our nurse is responsible for administering daily medications and monitoring students with health conditions, so it is important to schedule a time to meet with her.  Thank you for helping us maintain a safe and organized process for all students!

Please note:

• Only the school nurse, who is a registered nurse, can accept medications from parents/guardians.
• Administrators, secretaries, teachers, and students may not accept or transport medications at any time.
• If you need to drop off medication, please contact the nurse in advance to arrange a time that works for both you and the nurse.

For any questions or concerns, please reach out to your child's school nurse or building principal
