Guidelines for parents/guardians regarding medication at school can be updated by logging into Returning Student Gateway.

Please be aware that there are slightly different regulations for Prescription and Over the Counter Medications, but we require a signed form for ALL medication that students need to take at school.

• All medication must be stored in the office.
• All medication must be in the original container and unopened when delivered to school. Your child’s name must be on the medicine bottle or packaging.
• If your child is sick it is not appropriate to treat the symptoms at school. Medication may help briefly or reduce a fever, but he/she is still contagious and should be home.
• This form MUST be completed prior to the start of each school year and/or if any changes in the student’s health occur.
• The very first dose of this medication may not be given at school.
• Unused medication may be picked up by a parent/guardian any time before the end of the school year. Medication remaining after the last day of school will be properly discarded.

Parents/guardians have the right to come to school and give medication to their child without an order form on file. However, all sick children should be home to help prevent the spread of communicable disease.
