Medication will be administered according to Policy #5412.1 "Guidelines for Administering Medications to Students".

Medications may be administered by school personnel if a medication consent form (see below) is filled out by the healthcare provider and parent (for prescription medication) and by the parent (for over-the-counter medication). 

All medications must be in the original container clearly labeled with the student's name.  Prescription medications must have the current pharmacy label.

Any medication that is a controlled substance will be administered from the school office.  Students with asthma who are independent with using their quick acting inhaler are encouraged to carry these so that they have quick access.  Students who are unable to use an inhaler independently may keep their inhaler in the classroom or office so that they can be assisted with using it.  Since asthma inhalers are prescription medications, a medication consent form needs to be filled out and kept in the office.

School staff will not dispense medication or substances that are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration such as herbal or homeopathic remedies.
