A student may have an illness that does not prevent his/her attending school, but which requires medication for relief or cure.  If possible, such medication should be given by the parents at home.  The medication may be taken at school only if failure to take it could jeopardize the student’s health.  Over the counter medications are not allowed at school. 

All medications must be dispensed from the clinic.  For the school to administer medications, the parent must provide written permission on the form supplied by the school. Prescription medication must be brought to school in the original container with a pharmacy label.  Non-prescription medication may be given only if ordered by a physician in writing.  If medication is to be given in school for longer than two weeks, a statement from the attending physician must also be provided on the school form.  For student safety parents are encouraged to personally bring all medications to the clinic.
