Text Box: ALL PARENTS / STUDENTS: PLEASE READ CHANGE IN MEDICATION POLICY: The district shall not purchase oral nonprescription medication for students beginning with the 2010-2011 school year. In order for students to receive district-approved oral nonprescription medication (Tylenol, Advil, Benadryl, Tums, Cough Drops, & Throat Strips) while at school, the parent/guardian must complete & sign the Request for Administration of Medication form & send the age-appropriate medication to school in the original container (smallest container available) & to be properly labeled. The nurse may give up to 10 doses of the district-approved oral nonprescription medications. When students take 10 doses of a medication, the parent/guardian will be notified a doctor’s note will be needed in order to continue to give the student the medication. All other nonprescription medications must have a doctor’s note and must be in the original container & to be properly labeled. The parent/guardian must complete & sign the Request for Administration of Medication form & send the medication to school. A list of medications that are used in the school clinic is available on request from the school nurse. All prescription medication that cannot be scheduled for other than school hours may be given at school. We must receive a completed & signed Request for Administration of Medication form from the parent/guardian. The medication must be in the original container & to be properly labeled.
