Schools shall not dispense prescription medication to students except
when prescribed by a doctor and provided by the parent. A
designated staff member, either the child's teacher or office personnel,
must always dispense this medicine. Students taking prescribed medication either at home or during school hours must also take this medication when participating in off-campus trips (day trips and overnight trips). If a child is on medication (either prescription or non-prescription 'over-the- counter' medication) that is administered during school hours or while on off-campus trips, the parent must submit the appropriate Medication Authorization or Non-Prescription Medication Authorization form. Both forms are available in the School Office. These forms must be completed and signed by the parent. Both prescription and non- prescription medications should be brought to the School Office in the original packaging or prescription bottle. The pharmacist may be instructed to dispense the medication in two bottles; one for home and one for school. All medicines must be brought to the School Office by the parent. Students may not carry medicines on their person during the school year and/or school-related functions. The only exception to this policy is stated in paragraph III. Asthma Medications. |
