| The
administration of medication at school is discouraged.
Parents are asked to administer medication before or
after school. If medication is to be administered
during school hours, it is preferable that parents visit
the school to administer the medication. On those
occasions when the school must administer medication, it
will be done in compliance with all applicable
regulations and only after all relevant paperwork is on
file. When the school does accept the
responsibility of administering prescription medication,
the student must provide a permission form signed by
both the parent/guardian and the prescribing physician.
Medication must be in the original labeled container
with specific instructions for dispensing. The
school will not dispense any non-prescription,
over-the-counter medication without specific authority
from the parent. Students in possession of
medication without office permission may be charged
under the school's substance abuse policy. This
includes any over-the-counter medication, such as,
aspirin, cough drops or cough syrup. |
