    Policies: Medication Children recovering from a recent illness, but on medication, can attend school if they are able to participate in the full program, including outdoor activities. Designated staff members may dispense prescribed medications only when parents have supplied the school with a properly completed Authorization to Administer Medication form. This form is available in the school office. Medications must be labeled by the pharmacist and show the name of the prescribing physician, the medication, its dosage, and the duration of use. If you are reluctant to leave all of the medication at school, ask your pharmacist for an additional properly labeled container. Medications should be brought directly to the office or given to a staff member by an adult. In the case of controlled medications that need to be given on a regular basis, we require that you bring the tablets to the office so that the number of pills can be verified. These medications are kept under lock and key and dispensed only by authorized school personnel or the student's parent. Non-prescribed medications or over-the-counter drugs (such as Tylenol, vitamins, Triaminic, or cough drops) also require an Authorization to Administer Medication form with signatures of both the physician and a parent. NEVER put medication of any type in a student's lunchbox or backpack.
