MEDICATION

No school official or teacher can dispense medication to students except in unique situations in which a child's health is dependent upon medical aid. Only the principal or the principal's designee can administer the medication to a student who is required to take oral medication during school hours when the parent cannot be at school to administer the medication. Written instructions signed by the parent are required and the parent must fill out the official medication form found in the office. The medication must be delivered to the principal's office in person by the parent or guardian. Nonprescription medication may be administered only with the written request and permission of a parent or guardian. Prescription medications require a signed permission by the Doctor. Medicines must be stored and given in the school office. The school does not furnish any medicine, including aspirin.
