The written request for the administration of the prescribed medications at school shall be provided by the parent/guardian to the school nurse.
Written orders are to be provided to the school nurse from the private
physician, detailing the name of medication, its proper timing and dosage, and the time when its use will be discontinued.
The parent/guardian or student can deliver the medication to the school nurse in the original container,
appropriately labeled by the pharmacy.
Medication will be administered to pupils in the school by the nurse unless self-administration is permitted.
The parent/guardian of the child requiring medication is permitted to administer the needed medication in school and/ or on trips.
Medication no longer required should be promptly removed.
If your son/daughter has an inhaler for asthma or an EPI PEN for allergies to bees or food, a note from the physician must be on file with the school nurse for
self-administration during school hours or at athletic events.
