Medication Policies, Immunizations & Medical Forms
Medications for Students
If you have listed a health condition for your student, we must have medication at the school with all medical forms or a signed refusal form. A doctor must sign medical forms before we can give any medication.
- All medication must be in the original prescription labeled box or labeled store-bought box.
- Please note the medication given to us must be the same medicine that is written on the medication form.
- The medicine must be the same as listed on the medical form ( Example: generic Tylenol can't be brought in for the actual brand name Tylenol if that is what is listed)
Asthma
- Our school is not a self-carry school, which means all inhalers must be in the health office with a medication form.
Tylenol or Motrin
- We have a lot of students that come to the office with headaches and end up going home.
- We do not have Tylenol or Motrin here at the school.
- If your student suffers from headaches, cramps, etc., please get a medical form and follow the instructions above for having medication at the school.
- Please be aware that students may not bring in any medication to take throughout the day. Example: cough drops, eye drops, cold medicine, allergy pills
