All medication will be dispensed from the school office. Medication consent forms can be picked up at your child’s school or found on the district website under the school nurse link.
A parent/guardian Medication Consent form needs to be completed for any over the counter medication or prescription medication. Prescription medication also requires your physician to sign a prescription medication consent. A copy of the physician medication consent can be found on the school’s website under the school nurse link or can be picked up in the school office. Medication will not be dispensed from the school office until all forms have been completed.
A parent or guardian is to bring ALL medication in the original, properly labeled bottle to the school office with your health care provider’s instructions regarding dosage, amount and time, Please do not send medication to school with your child in their backpacks. Please DO NOT send medication in envelopes, baggies, or in containers that are not the original containers. At the end of the year, the parent/guardian must pick up the remaining medication. Medications left at school will be discarded. Student’s are not allowed to carry any medication themselves but will be allowed, per state law, to carry Rescue Inhalers and Epi-Pen’s. An updated medication form is required each school year.
