Medication Adminstration at School
Medication Administration at School
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.
For any questions or concerns, please reach out to your child's school nurse or building principal
