Medication Reminders

  • If your child will need to take a daily medication during the school day request a separate bottle from the pharmacy for the school clinic.  All medication must be in the original container.
  • A parent or guardian must administer the first time dose of any new prescription medication or any over the counter medicine that the child has never taken previously and the parent should look for reactions that may occur.  New medication should not be administered for the first time at school.
  • Please do not send medication to school by the child.  A parent or guardian needs to bring the medicine to school.
  • A physician's authorization is required for all prescription medication, herbal medication or doses higher than the bottle recommends.
  • A parent or guardian signature is required before medication will be administered.
  • Medication must be picked up at the end of the school year; any medication not picked up will be discarded.
  • The Authorization to Administer Medication form is only good for one school year.
  • Any changes in prescription medication dosage must have a physician's order.  Each medication requires it's own medication form.
  • Non-prescription medication will be administered as instructed on the box, unless accompanied with a physicians order instructing to do differently.
  • Emergency use Antihistamine is available in the school clinic providing there is written parent permission on file.
