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.
With any dosage or prescription change and at the start of each school year, a new Medication Release form must be completed.
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.
A student may be subject to disciplinary action for the misuse of any medication.
The district’s school nurses serve several schools and are not available on a daily basis to administer medication. As a result, nonmedical staff on the campus will most often perform this function. Consequently, you are encouraged, with the help of your physician, to work out a schedule to give medication outside school hours if possible.
