Children may not be given any kind of non-prescription medicine at school unless he/she has a written statement from a physician. Acetominophen (Tylenol) and Ibuprofen (Motrin) can be given for an emergency but only if there is an orange card on file with a parent/guardian’s signature. Only the nurse can give this emergency medication. If your child needs non prescription medications for less than two weeks please read the following directions and fill out the following form.
Parents of any pupil who must take medicine prescribed by a physician during school, must submit a “ Physician’s Recommendation for Medicine”.
The medicine container must include:
1) Name of Pupil
2) Name of prescribing physician
3) An identification number of the prescription container
4) Name of the pharmacy
5) The amount of medication to be taken and schedule.
No injections may be given at school except by a registered school nurse.
For asthma medication, have the doctor sign the Asthma Action Plan.
Children are not allowed to carry or transport medication to and from school. Medication must be transported by an adult and handed to an adult (preferably the nurse in case there are any questions). If your child needs medication or a special procedure after hours (for example 6 to 6), you need to arrange this with the supervisor of the after hours program.
