MEDICATION ADMINISTRATION POLICY
Any medication to be administered to a student during school hours needs to have a signed and dated consent by the student's parent and health care provider for that school year. The consent of the parent shall be valid only for the period specified on the consent form and in no case longer than the current school or program year.
All medication must be contained in a current pharmacy labeled container with student's name, prescriber's name, date, medication, dosage, and time to be given. Any change in type, frequency or amounts of medication will require a new medication consent form.

Parents/guardians of students who are taking prescribed Class II or controlled substances MUST bring the medication to the school nurse. In the absence of the parent/guardian, an authorized adult may bring the medication to the nurse.
All student medication must be stored in the nurse's office. Exemptions will be made, as ordered by a health care provider, when it is medically necessary for a student to carry medication, such as an inhaler for asthma or an epi-pen for severe allergies.
