    Is My Child Too Sick For School?

Prescription Medications

  • Taking medication during school hours is discouraged. Parents are asked to arrange medication schedules so that it is not necessary for medication to be taken at school. However, if the physician recommends such administration, then the parent must complete the Administration of Medication Request Form (available by request from the school clinic) and return it to the school.  It should be updated yearly.  Medication must be in the original prescription container, brought to school by the parent/guardian and must be housed in the clinic. Students may not have medications in their possession or share these medications with others.

    Children should not transport medication to school.

Over-the-Counter Medications

  • The clinic does not supply Tylenol, Ibuprofen, etc.  For students who may need these medicines, parents will need to provide them to the clinic with appropriate forms.  Students requiring ANY medication at school must have a parent bring the medication and documentation to the school clinic (this includes Ibuprofen, Tylenol, eye drops, cough drops, etc.).  All medication is stored and administered by the clinic worker.  If students need to be given medication, we cannot give it to them unless we have written permission.

    PLEASE DO NOT SEND MEDICATION TO SCHOOL WITH YOUR CHILD.

    Medication must be kept in the clinic in the original container. If the medication is to be administered for more than one day, an Administration of Medication Request Form must be completed. Students may not have over-the-counter medications in their possession and may not share medications of any kind with fellow students.
