Medications
It is our general policy that mediation should be administered by the parents/guardian at home. However, there are times when medication needs to be administered at school.
Prescription medications require an order from a health care provider with the name of the medication, dose, route, time to be given, how often, and the name of the student. The order must be signed by the health care provider and parent. The medication must have a prescription label that matched the order exactly.
Non-prescription medication (over-the-counter medication) must be presented in the original container and with a form filled completed and signed the parent//guardian. All medication will be kept in locked drawer in the school office, not with the student. The school will not supply any medication for the student.
