Medication Forms

Medications At School

A student who requires medication during the course of the school day must have written permission from both his/her parent or guardian and physician, detailing the medication, method of administration, amount, and time it is to be given.

Parents/Guardians must bring the medication to the school office in its original container, with the correct dosage, administration information, and student’s name printed on the label. A new medication form must be completed each school year.

Medication forms can be accessed for each school site (see links at right). All medication forms are also available in the school office.
