Medication in School


Our health rooms may not keep stock

Prescription Medications:

If your child must take medication in school which has been prescribed by a physician, you must send the medication in the original container and must present written instructions and a doctor's signature. If your child requires an asthma medication we have a special form to be completed. Students requiring the use of emergency medication such as an epi-pen should have the authorization of emergency treatment form completed.

All medications brought to school must be locked in the health room.

Please note: Nutritional supplements, vitamins, minerals, and herbal remedies may only be given during school hours with the written permission of a physician. A "PRESCRIPTION MEDICATION" form must be completed by the student's doctor before any of these supplements may be taken at school. The forms are available through your school nurse or by clicking on the form above.
