Student Medications
Please note: While there are specific requirements for parents and physicians regarding prescription medications, it is also important to be aware that students are not permitted to be in possession of over-the-counter (OTC) medications at any time. As with prescription medications, OTC medications require completion of written instruction from a physician. *We do not provide any medication without a completed medication release form.
- A Medication Release form must be completed each year and kept on file in the school office. Annual updates are required by law.
- Students may not possess medication at school, walking to and from school, or on a school bus (exceptions are inhalers for asthma, diabetic medications and EPI PENS, as authorized by the physician on the Medication Release form, which is available in the school office).
- Medication must be brought to school by a parent or adult representative in the original pharmacy container.
- Over-the-counter drugs must also have a Medication Release form on file.
- All medications must be kept in the office unless otherwise directed by the physician.
- At the end of the school year or when a medication expires, a parent or adult representative must pick up unused medication.
- All medication will be discarded if not picked up at the appropriate time.
