The school nurse must administer all medication that is taken during school hours.

Medicines are administered to the student only with written permission from the doctor or the parents.

Any prescription drugs required by a student during school hours must be given to the nurse, complete with the student’s name, class, time, and dose(s) to be given.

Students are not allowed to carry over-the-counter medication nor are they allowed to carry prescribed medication with them, in their backpack or keep it  in their locker. All medicines must be left in the nurse's office unless special arrangements have been made with the nurse.  Misuse of (prescribed) drugs is considered an act subject to disciplinary action.

If students become ill or injured during the school day, the school nurse may administer basic medication, as indicated by the parent on the school health form (attached below).  Health Forms are also available in the admissions office.

The nurse’s office keeps only certain over-the-counter medication and no specific medications for specific treatments.

The responsibility of providing specific medication to the nurse is the responsibility of the parents/guardians of the student concerned.
