Whenever possible medication should be given at home. However, if your child needs to take medication during school hours, the health office requires the following:

1. All medication must be brought to school in the original container and delivered to the Health Office (Room M162). (Students needing inhalers for the treatment of asthma will be allowed to carry inhalers in their bag for immediate use).
2. Prescription medication must be brought to school in a pharmacy labeled container with the student’s name on it. The Health Office must receive the Written Consent to Administer Medication Form and written instructions from your doctor that includes the following information:

• Student’s name
• Name of medication
• Dosage of medication
• Duration of medication
• Physician’s signature, and
• Written consent to administer the medication for a parent/guardian (download form here)
